to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!

lf Digital audio is man made how can I expect the brain to recognize it as natural sounding?

lf I re-encode digital audio with the earths natural frequencies will the brain now recognize it as a natural source allowing the digital audio to harmonize with my brain creating an entirely new listening experience?

This might sound crazy however it sounds perfectly logical to me so i went to the park at 3am to record the frequencies of nature using the built in mic on my cheap mp3 player in wav 16/44 and uploaded the wav file to my pc and while the file from the park was playing on my windows media player i made a simple copy of a commercial digital album flac 16/44 on my desktop and here are the results using the same audio source.

commercial release flac 16/44 http://u.pc.cd/PmXctalK

commercial release  with earth frequencies http://u.pc.cd/7d7

lt may be the placebo effect and i'm hearing what i want to hear however i think the music is now in harmony with my ears?

Digital will sound correct when you remove that bias out of your mind.

op is a troll baiting here i think

if not, i would say well implemented digital streaming today can sound very close to good analog, but like anything else, there is a learning curve leading to smart choices to be made

It's common knowledge that as you move up the audio food chain, digital audio sounds better.  Trying to make a statement about all digital audio systems based only on a single sample of a relatively (by high-end audiophile standards) low price/performance component is meaningless.

The OP too general a term "natural" is not an absolute, but a subjective judgement.  For instance, as one moves up the digital audio food chain, there will come a point where some will say it sounds "natural" while others would disagree.  Also, how would I know if we injected some "tube magic" into the digital audio chain whether it would satisfy the OP "natural" requirement?

Sam here and i had to look up who kenjit is? still not quit sure.i'm not trying to get new age as i have never been new age.l believe that the music we listen to even on top notch systems somehow falls short and if i find the right formula there can be a supernatural experience between the listener and the music. based on the two audio samples from my post i believe i proved that frequencies can have a pronounced effect on the sound of music.when i use the term natural what i really mean is a supernatural connection to the music something man made equipment can't produce.l believe there is an answer and i believe it is a very simple answer i simply have to uncover it.

My Allo USBridge signature streamer, fead by Ethernet and an ENO RFI filter, into the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 sounds incredibly life-like, natural and involving. The £4000 turntable and phono stage plays second fiddle to it.
