A sign of the times?


Overheard comment by a young guy trying to impress his girlfriend at a recent HiFi show.
" Downloads will never sound as good as CDs. CDs are just so much warmer."

You hear a lot of stuff................here too.

In this case it makes no difference as long as she was impressed with his superior knowledge. Whether he was right or not is immaterial. 
His girlfriend was all agog at the depth of his knowledge. His acne was positively glowing with pride.

to my ears, downloads/files have an artificial smear that a CD/SACD disc does not.  A physical disc can sound warmer, yes.  Happy Listening!
