Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.

@tomcy6 I do not drink. 
Now if I were a professor @ Columbia I would snort China White (heroin) every evening to unwind. I am not judging...yes I am.

But I do not so I come here and jerk a chain or two.

No hard feelings and enjoy your evening.

Cheers. 

@lexx21 I have work to do sorry but I am shutting down.

I imagine there will be a few snipers taking shots so enjoy.

Cheers.

See if I can whip it up again this weekend.

skypunk,

Veggie burger is fine. Of course, I remove tomato.

I came across a number of children over the years, but those inflatable devices were not popular when I was growing up. We had to learn how to swim independently by the age of 4, or so.

Digital *IS* better.

Only the nostalgic oldies are chasing the old analog sound.  People living in the 21st century are not.

I have converted to digital and never looked back.  I do have an old Linn Sondek but I like its LOOKS more than its sound.  It is never able to come up to the dynamics and clarity of the digital sound.

The clean, crisp and noise free sound and the ease of use of digital will beat 99% analogs hands down these days.  Maybe not the ones costing over $50k or $60k, but then again, 99% of the people cannot afford that and it is irrelevant.

I have never listened to lossless digital audio files, it seems to me once they are converted to audible sound of human vocals and instruments the medium returns to analog format...there for your listening to the dac vs recording...

How much better is it vs Pandora, which sounds pretty good through xfininity 1 box to my receiver...quick response from the receiver-very distinct lows and miss, the piano sounds like it’s in my room and drum sticks hits on the kettle and snare are a thud...and I have access to music I have been denied by recording studios on vinyl..let’s face it, it doesn’t matter what or how we listen..for me, I love my vinyl, it has a different more tangible sound than digital, you tend to hear more of how it was recorded and with digital it’s more cold sterile and super accurate...the best car analogy is a Ferrari vs Tesla S...the Ferrari allows you to experience so much more of the sounds and texture of the music, the Tesla is like the linearity, it’s quiet, you know it’s on by looking at the lights when the accelerator is engaged you get the high pitch wind and go quickly without fuss as the computer processes the information as it has been told..we all have preferences..I had no point just an analysis of digital and analog domains...no back to my listening to free internet radio.. my next analysis will be FM vs AM-why Bluetooth matters.. I miss FM radio rock stations
