Digital recordings on Vinyl


I've generally tried to avoid it but now I'm weighing the difference between getting a really good dac or just just getting the vinyl cuts and playing it on my awesome analog rig. You?

why avoid? source should not scare you if you're willing to listen to a specific artist or band. overall it only matters not on mastering type but on its quality.
Just a side note; a well mastered analogue LP beats most digitally mastered vinyl. And so much modern vinyl has defects not found on the original generation vinyl.

I'm assuming you don't have a DAC yet or are you looking for an upgrade?
That's more to my point Lowrider. Will well recorded digital always sound better on a really good dac, as well recorded analog sounds best on vinyl? I have a budget dac, Emotiva, but know there are some really nice ones out the ie Berkeley etc and as much as I love analog, almost no one, if anyone, is recording analog. A lost art. It's like a digital picture vs a film pic. 2 totally different animals, each with it's virtues but they don't really cross over well.

That's a really good question. I'm surprised more people don't ask it. I generally stay away from digital recordings on vinyl. To me, it just sounds like better digital and is not worth the effort.

As discussed here many times, they're 2 different formats and I think the key to good digital is more than just the DAC. You have to consider all the components such as the master clock, the right cable and choosing tube or SS DAC for your individual system. So I guess I'm saying a great digital setup will provide a great listening experience and can be just as enjoyable as vinyl. As long as you don't get into the analogue vs digital wars.
