Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?

Maybe they do behave like this in person, and get punched a lot !
Musicality , life and finally, the organic orange ...
Ok, this is subjective forum where some people want to avoid any technical aspects! Curiously science and measurements will easily tell us the differences between the different types of oranges!
So, you could obviously buy everything organic if you wanted to, but oranges will have minor benefits if any. The point of buying organic is apart from higher nutrients because of the way they are grown, herbicides and pesticides get ingested with non-organic. So best to avoid food that you eat regularly, and which you do not have to peel, i.e. is directly exposed to the chemicals.
The most important is oats, because non-organic oats have the most herbicides and pesticides, greater than used on other food. But bananas, oranges, mangoes, you will be fine. Avocado is a serious superfood, there is zero herbicide and pesticide penetrating through the skin. Apples, strawberries, etc better to go organic if having regularly, as well as veggies.

not wanting to go too far afield with this direction. with the exception of some times when we eat at restaurant's and have no choice, my wife and i eat 100% organic. i do most of the shopping and we are consistent, have been for decades. the exception being myself and some meat i eat. my wife is hardcore, i'm not as much. but it's all we eat.
as to the benefits and the specifics, i would defer to her knowledge, not mine. but no doubt that they taste better. sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. my point bringing up oranges is that eating both organic and non organic oranges is an experience most of us have so it's common and useful as an analogy. we all recognize that for whatever reason the organic tastes better and more complete as a taste experience. it's more satisfying, causing us to want to eat more of it if we have a choice. like analog.
i will say that when i post about organic oranges i'm reminded i miss our dear brother Tango.

Herbicides and pesticides are also taken up by the plants' root system and distributed throughout the plant, including the fruits and vegetables. Skin won't help with this pathway. Avocado trees, by the way, absolutely suck up water like sponges.
The Avocado skin absorbs it but we dispose the skin.
ZOE Podcast: The Truth About Organic Food
Is eating organic better for your health? And are the benefits worth the expense? In this episode, Prof. Tim Spector lays out the answers.

Tim Spector is one of the world's top 100 most cited scientists (not including our audio scientists) a scientific co-founder of ZOE, and the author of the bestselling book Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well.
There are books and scientific publications on the topic. Uptake depends on the type of herbicide or pesticide, the amount applied, and the specific plant species. A couple sources (there are many others)...
"Herbicide Movement and Metabolism in Plants". This book provides a detailed overview of the mechanisms by which herbicides are taken up and transported by plants.
"The Uptake and Metabolism of Pesticides in Vegetables" by J.E. Casida. This paper reviewed the uptake and metabolism of pesticides in vegetables.
Caliendo in London was voted to have the best gelato. I have tried different flavors and they are quite superior to other gelato places. No argument.
And, just a tip, ice creams cause minimal glucose spikes compared to other desserts like brownies, so you can have many.
This also matches my experience doing all sorts of PCM and DSD recording. DSD is closer to the live event on our acoustic work.
The previous post reminded me that I have a (probably stupid) question: how is the original analogue signal "stored" and played back in order to compare it to the "digital" playback?

How do you account for Adrian not hearing a difference between live and DSD128? Could he be using a better ADC?
I am late to this thread, but has the OP tried HQPlayer and upsampling/DSP to his Denafrips DAC yet?
