Recently I've made an experiment.
I've run DSotM Mfsl uhqr record on Sony PS-X9 connected to Exclusive C7 preamp with rec out1 connected to Studer D19m AD.
It's digital output was connected to Sony 703 das.
C7 rec out2 and Sony das analog output were connected to Stax headphone amp with SR009. Then I've done A/B switching headphone preamp input.
It was a difference but the difference between analog and SACD/CD versions was huge. So I've made the conclusion - the digital is not so bad but the problem is CD/SACD mastering.
PS: Tidal is just no comments - CD/SACD or HD tracks files is far better.
