Analog playback on computer.


I have improved my analog to the point where it is better than CD. Now I can hear this on WAV computer playback when I compare before and after on computer.

My question is; is this usual or unusual, out of the ordinary?

To clarify the question, when you down load your LP's, after you have gone through the time and expense, to get that holographic 3D with depth, can you hear this on computer play back?

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

It depends on your system. You need a analog to digital computer and a DAC that are as good as your analog system. I digitize at 24/192 with a professional ADC and have chosen my DAC to have a similar sound signature to my analog rig. With that, the digital files sound very similar to the LPs.

So, yes it is possible to get the LP sound as long as you match your ADC and your DAC to your analog setup.

If you starting digitizing, you should look at Vinyl Studio. It is a great app for separating the tracts, tagging, cleaning up noise, etc. Only $29 with a free trial. One of its great advantages is that is looking up albums in discogs and imports the track names and the timing information. Makes the whole process a lot easy. Available for both Windows and Mac.
