The sad thing about digital is that they have the capability to reproduce sound very similar to analog, it was called DVD, and then later BluRay; but DVD alone would have done a great job, and initially when DVD came out they were going to replace the CD format and put music on DVD because the DVD held a lot more bits of information than a CD, a CD can only hold about 700 MB of data, but a DVD can hold 17 GB's of data. Tests were done that proved that music sound quality was far better on the DVD, but for some reason this never went anywhere. So, they put movies on it instead, which ate up the GB's data and left less space for music than a CD had!I am done with digital. After having suffered thru every digital format available over the years, and never liking the sound of any of it, I am putting all my time, money and effort into my analog front-ends (turntable and tapedeck).
How many of you have a similar story to tell?
Problem with records and tape is that they don't last, they wear out, and while CD's or DVD's can get scratched it takes a lot more effort to do so, and they never wear out.
