There's a great little article in a Brit audio magazine I read a while back that makes the point about why analog from digital sounds better than digital...of course I can't find the article...damn...but it's true.

That's right, with an analog source vinyl will always be preferable. Provided the record manufacturing process doesn't have any intermediairy digital steps, which would throw all the benefits of the infinite analog signal out of the window. With digital sources it's a crap shoot. In most cases, CD's are produced with much compression, while the vinyl made from a digital master may not. In that case the vinyl will likely be superior. All else being equal, which it usually isn't. |

Not even close. It's a bandwidth-limited signal, and so is digital. |
