A DAC that can make digital sound analog?

Thank you for the correction; that's what I meant, but I didn't state it properly.

To go where no audiophile has gone before; past the vinylsphere, beyond the CD zone, and into the far off R2R quadrant. This is the destination one reaches when he records 2 track at 15 IPS and plays it back. No longer do I equate audio in terms of frequency and dynamic range, but in terms of "travelocity"; that's what kind of trip the music is going to take me on this time.

With a bigger source signal, your speakers actually sound bigger, and 3D like you never heard it before; instruments popping out of space, this is what one hears in the far off R2R quadrant in the 15 dimension.

I can see why they are naming DAC's R2R, because that's the only way you can get CD's to sound like LP's; that's by recording them and playing back on a good 2 track; in reality, you have transformed digital into analog, because there is nothing digital about the playback from tape.

Some people who make inquiries about analog have lots of money to spend, I say to those people "Have fun"; but when someone comes up with a 1K budget; I say keep your money in your pocket until it adds up to 3K; that's my advice.

R2R tape has come a long way; while I had no problem with Maxell, especially double EE tape, the latest tape that I used last night is even quieter; tape noise is no longer a problem, for certain on my modified R2R.

The audible frequency is from 20K t0 20,000K according to audio magazines, but in reality, a persons ability to hear falls off rapidly after 16,000K. This can easily be verified by amplified test tones on a loudspeaker.

I can't find "brickwalled" in my electronics dictionary.  Could you provide evidence of this new electronics term in regard to CD's.

Clearthink, it's quite apparent that you don't have R2R and you've never done this, so why did you take the time to make such an "unscientific" comment?

While you're making baseless comments, I'm enjoying the most incredible musical sound ever heard from the combination of digital recorded on high speed analog; the playback is pure analog, and that's a fact.

If anyone wants to turn CD's into "superior" LP's, just record them on a good R2R at 15 IPS, and you will get what sounds like fantastic vinyl, without the record noise and ticks on playback.
