A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..

If you oriced they video did go in to issues with digital.  Mostly compression and the overly mastered music to ale up for the compression.  Without getting in toy which is better, I wonder if someone who has spent 30 ears doing digital can master an analog recording properly ithout bringing gains way up in fat sections.

Science to the rescue.  Forget your ears, listen to the CODEC, which, by definition, SUBTRACTS bits and then "tries" to put them back in.

Better yet, listen to a "digital" B-3 and/or "electronic" drums and then the originals.  Different, but which one is the B-3?  If you can't tell, then anything you listen to is fine with you and me.  Doesn't make you "wrong" and me "right" any more than liking a food or car that I don't care for does. 

I suggest that you listen to the MUSIC and not worry so much about all this silliness.

Enjoy.

I strongly urge those interested to read,  "Why Hasn't Everything Disappeared Already?" by Jean Baudrillard.  A long time philosophical critic of the 'screen' and the digital/visual  nexus, Baudrillard presents a rich approach to understanding the "analogue" through photography and digital visual recording as the death of the real.  It all applies to analogue music and vinyl reproduction. In fact he styles the death of the analogue as "murder". 
I too was insulted being told what I can and cannot hear.  I have two separate systems with cd players and turntables, 1 Rega 6 w/ Ortophon Bronze and 1 late 1970s Thorens in great shape and with the same new cartridge.  I can not only tell the differrence between playbacks I can tell the difference between the 2 systems.  The 2 cd players do not sound the same!  Neither do the turntables.  And in all 'systems' there are many links and each one can determine the final quality of sound.  Dave Brubeck's Take Five album in 180gs is awesome and the high end on the second cut on the first side rings out with the sweetest percussion no digital player can possible match.
If I suffer from notalgia, it is with joy and sorrow.  Sorrow that music is murdered digitally and joy that I am lucky enough to know the difference.  There is nothing wrong with missing something that is very good.  The cd is still good on cleaning day when I run the vacuum.

The best quality digital doesn't go through a codec.

There's no need to be insulted. There are posters who've acknowledged here that their goal is to mock and humiliate. There's no reason to take those people seriously.
