Digitalitis is a condition experienced by some people which causes them a slight discomfort, unease or fatigue when listening to sounds, speech or music which has been converted from analog form to a digital format. Much like the visual "rainbow effect" from certain digital light processing projectors, it is not known why some people experience this condition and other people do not.*

*"The projector rainbow effect is a visual phenomenon where someone watching a projected image perceives flashes of color around the image.
In a nutshell, it is a “stroboscopic” effect produced by slow color wheel speeds in a [digital light processing] projector that causes some people to see flashes of blue, green and red particularly with scenes containing fast movement, when very bright areas move across dark areas in a video. . . .
It is a strange anomaly as some people see the rainbows, and some don’t, or at least it isn’t a noticeable issue to them."
