The quest


I have a question that may or not be easy to answer: are all efforts to improve digital music just a quest to achieve the quality of sound of the good and old LP? I keep reading expressions like "an almost analog quality" and similar things. Is digital sound just a more convenient means to store and play music that one day may reach the sound qualities of LPs, or we can reasonably expect one day to hear a really more natural ("better") sound from digital sources?

The dynamics from digital can exceed that possible from vinyl. With vinyl, the mass of the moving parts in the cartridge and the grooves are the ultimate limitation.

The other analog qualities of Vinyl, like vocal smoothness can be duplicated with digital, but it requires very low jitter and low noise from the components. These components don't come cheap, but they are available.

Listening to Digital is like having a shower with millions of little ice cubes instead of fresh water (vinyl)
Yes, hold on to your vinyl as digital will never end in trying to empty your pocket book.
