Tomcy6,
that is probably true for a generation, but remember there are generations now who have never heard vinyl. I have a friend who's son stayed with his brother (a vinyl nut) & came back saying he had all these big black CDs!
Very soon DACs will come with not only room correction, but filters that copy this sound or that at uber bandwidths. You will be able to have your cake & eat it. But don't forget all this is recording dependant. I have great sounding 44.1/16 recordings as well as 24/192.
In the pro market many of the plug ins that have copied classic kit are pretty good. They have come a long way. Things like tape saturation, limiting, compression, reverbs, distortion etc. The well heeled will notice, but as it develops it gets harder & harder to tell the difference between the real kit and the algorithm.
All modern pro studio hardware is at least 24/192. So it is no big deal to make available downloads of high bandwidth recordings. It's only a file. Not a disk reading issue.
Soon your whole library will be on a cloud accessible from anywhere at anytime. It will be great. It's damn good now! Embrace it.
If love to fiddle with your kit you will still be able to play with cables, tubes etc if you wish. At least you will know the source is as good as the original master.
