Yup, I made that point too. As obvious as it is to us, it doesn't seem to be to some others, for strange reasons. Hence their extolling the "virtues of analog playback" over digital YouTube recordings.

Did you used to model for album covers Milan?Right now i am listening to a original Fleetwood Mac album from 1969, from when Christine McVie was still Perfect and only a guest artist ! Great sound, Mick Fleetwood must be among my 3 favorite drummers of all time
What about our brain - is it analog or digital?
Is The Human Brain Analog Or Digital?
Is the human brain analog or digital? This question was originally answered on Quora by Paul King.

Leaving this topic for good - it's a waste of time.
I on the other hand see threads such as this one as a way to take up idle time.
at the very tip top of the digital hardware food chain, there are no absolutes on the info delivery choice for best sound. meaning that purity of native format, transfer quality, recording quality.....all those type variables, are more significant than whether it's silver disc, file or streaming. but compromise anywhere, and the table does tilt away from streaming past files toward silver discs as some degree of an advantage.
the good news is that digital can deliver the music at a high level at a reasonable level of expense and effort.

lots of good enjoyable digital at reasonable prices. but there are plenty of more for more choices too.Says the man with the $ 250K digital front end !
just when we have 2500 post threads about what it takes to surpass or equal vinyl that is a completely different question. one can like competent digital yet view good or great vinyl as untouchable. those positions are not in conflict. yet to some they are fighting words. and away we go.
That's true, but it's trivially easy to spot good AAA vinyl playback over your typically grey digital copy, even over YouTube.

I’ll send you a list by PM When I have a little time in the next week.
It would be merrier if we could all manage to stay off the internet long enough to enjoy it.
Sooo, since July and after ~2500 posts are we nearer to the answer?
there is no (broadly accepted) answer. the question or opening phrase on any digital/analog thread is just a starting gun.Sooo, since July and after ~2500 posts are we nearer to the answer?
and when/if this one fades out another will take it's place.
in 100% of my face to face high end audio communications this issue is never even talked about. since the answer is so blatantly obvious with the people i happen to interact with personally. who share listening experiences. no place for the truth to hide. and i'm likely the most pro-digital person i know.

I wonder who benefits more, turntable suppliers or digital source/tweak suppliers that are constantly telling us they've discovered a way to turn straw into gold.
I am about to leave for the day, and i have the christmas tradition to start up my Oppo and leave it running with loud music while i am gone, Van Morrison "Live in San Francisco " started playing and now i have a hard time leaving ! An album i rarely hear because i don't have it on vinyl ! Digital is great too !
Sure. I think we all -- most of us anyway -- understand that reproduction is not what is reproduced. But look how many of us enjoy both. Some use 'real' (live acoustic) music as a reference or guideline when making our stereo systems into what they are. The enjoyment of reproducing music in our homes is very real.
