its all a downhill ride from the origional acoustic event...
seriously lats assume for simplicity the analog master represents what the artist wanted us to hear at that time.
Plangent - the fruits of which I have heard and for most part agree does improve sound - a boon to the hyper pitch sensitive for sure.
so post plangent we still have an A to D converter to deal with....they are not artifact free - this is just factual. My Wadia ( actually both of them ) and Ayre are nite and day different. Why object to cleaning up those artifacts - many temporal - and as I believe MQA requires somebody ( label, producer, artist ) sign off on those changes..
Diana Krall stops by my house every time I roll tubes in the preamp...
