Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda!

A secret meeting was held on Jeckyl Island in which the titans of the music industry agreed to keep secret the details of how to make perfect digital. They all knew the key to long term profits was to slowly and gradually year by year go from absolute crap to slightly less absolute crap. Occasionally one will get out ahead of the others and come up with something only moderately crappy and when this happens they charge an arm and a leg. Which is cheap, because they all know if the secret ever gets out it will cost them their heads.

So that is what they have been doing for 30 years now. Analysts keep saying this cannot go on forever that people will figure out there's no there there. But so far even Michael Fremer literally saying there's no there there hasn't done anything, so it would appear the scam can continue on for quite some time.

I have it on good authority the code for perfect digital is stored in Al Capones vault, right along side the recipe for Coca-Cola. 

Absolutely nothing to do with digital or analog. And WTF does first press have to do with compression/limiting?
There are plug ins like Re Life but they only improve, not mitigate.

Unless they have clipped it it should be fairly easy to improve it if you can create filters or make a program that fixes wav- or flac-files. You might not get the exact original waveform back but something that pleases your ears more.

Have you tried searching for one?

The CD is compressed, as noted above. If you have access to sound mastering software (odyssey, etc), you can improve this slightly by lowering loudness and correcting clips. It will sound slightly better.

Sam here and these are the facts that i have uncovered so far?

1. 1st press vinyl is superior in sound quality to remastered new vinyl because new vinyl is nothing more than a vinyl cd.

2. 100% dynamic compression can be removed from digital audio without the use of denoisers or declippers using the iir filter in foobar2000

3. flac with compression level 4 is superior in sound quality to all other flac compression levels! They are not the same.

4. digital audio and new vinyl has stereo + mono depth perception. 1st press vinyl has stereo + stereo depth perception FACT friends it’s time to eccept the truth about audio that i have uncovered.

due to the knowledge of vittles i will test 16/48 vs 16/44
