The little squiggles in a record are simply codes containing information, not the "real sound," just like digital bits contain information about the real sound, that need to be translated back in to sound. Medium that now simply has information representing the sound, where a playback system then is made to "read" the information that represents the original sound, and tries to recreate that sound via transducers. a symphony orchestra or live band, and utterly CHANGED and reduced that phenomenon down to an information medium: entirely different In each case you have taken (often) real sounds, e.g. It's a truly absurd argument that analog is somehow more "natural" because it is the "real sound as it is captured" where digital can't capture the sound. Let’s wait and see, but I would love to feel the same excitement when listening to CD’s as I do when playing a direct cut LP!
There are some interesting efforts, like the Waversa approach and the one in my post here Sparkler Audio S512 D/A processor to improve CD sound!?, although that one takes a different approach through analog processing. There may be already some CDP’s that can do this or come close, however their purchase price still has 5 figures, as far as I can tell.Īs you know, I am hoping that this software technology will become more affordable in the near future. I think here development is still ongoing by smart processing through really powerful chips to re-create (almost) perfectly the recorded signal. Given the premises of digital (no tape loss) it should mean that in theory a CD should be able to sound at least as good, if all digital information is perfectly read and re-constructed. That seems plausible as well, as there is no tape related loss. However what interests me is that when using a “direct cut” LP versus a the same CD, people always agree that direct cut sounds best, most real. That’s is fine and one discuss this endlessly. And people always heard a difference between the different formats. They use their recordings to compare equipment in public hearing sessions at selected dealers. As they are really “gründlich“, like you were, they say that this a basic requirement for comparison! The reason I am asking is that a German magazine has made their own LP, CD and download with identical mastering. Would it be possible that you can hear a difference with the latest, modern equipment? Click to expand.Thank you for replying so frankly! You did not hear any difference in the analog and digital path.
