With all due respect db, digital still typically uses analog filters in the output of the dac. Furthermore the "quantization" as you call it still "analog" in the time domain aka jitter. IMEs, digital sources all have a sonic signature akin to analog source signatures.
CD vs. Vinyl
I've personally had to opportunity to listen to identical music on vinyl and CD on an extremely high end system, possibly a seven figure system, and certainly recognized the stark difference between the vinyl sound and a CD.
What makes this difference? Here are three situation to consider assuming the same piece of music:
(1) An original analogue recording on a vinyl vs. an A/D CD
(2) An original analogue recording on vinyl vs. an original digital recording on CD
(3) An original digial recording on CD vs. a D/A recording on vinyl
I wonder if the sound of vinyl is in some ways similar to the "color" of speakers? It's not so much of an information difference, just the sound of the medium?
Any thoughts?
