My DAC has various filters that can make it sound like tubes or a vinyl recording. Considering that all newer music is recorded digitally then why would you not listen to it the way it was meant to be? You can make a digital source sound however you like. Vinyl sounds like uh vinyl.

Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

At the ultimate level, it's not analog vs. digital, it's ANY recording vs. direct-to-disk. After all these years, a superior d-2-d LP played on a superior turntable/arm/cartridge is STILL vastly more "alive" sounding that ANY electronic---analogue OR digital---recording. There are those who like well made pre-war 78's (themselves d-2-d) for the same reason. |
I trust you on this.....And it is very interesting to know this experiment of yours bigkidz ... I must be a little deaf tough.... 😊 With my relatively low cost minimalistic NOS dac, Starting Point Systems with an internal battery and very low noise level because of that and his single TDA 1543 chip with almost nothing else to create noise and a very well embedded acoustically, mechanically and electrically audio system, i listen to no detectable digital glare or digital noise....My Sound is holographic, with natural instrumental timbre without the fatiguing highs at all.... And even if my Sansui AU 7700 is S.S. the sound is better than my past tube amplifier....I cannot even listen no more to any of my headphones including 2 stax, 2 different orthodynamic, 2 dynamic one and a hybrid because my speakers are better than any of them now on all count including details.... Then....I must be deaf without knowing it perhaps ?.... Or i am like those who addicted to porn called it love... Because for vinyl afficionados digital is 2 dimension porn compared to the 3-d living love.... I am damned without even knowing it....😮😯😪😶 Like Calvin already demonstrated it before the success of protestant capitalism which was a way for the lucky rich to know that God choose them to be like they are: rich... ( i apologize to digress, i am not only half deaf but a bit nut it seems) And i dont mock you, i take your own experiment seriously but what? What about mine? Food for toughts indeed....I dont eliminate the fact that habit condition us all even me....😁 Merry Christmas to you and thanks for this interesting post....... |
