Rush: Hold Your FireIt was mastered DDD...all digitalAnd it is their suckiest recording.
I remember when I bought it thinking, 'This is going to be amazing!' What a disappointment.
Just not dynamic at all...super compressed and dead. Clean but lifeless.
I have a decent CD rig with an excellent DAC and I enjoy digital 30% of the time. A good recording is a good recording. But all things being equal, LPs have a slight edge over the best digital.
I'm sure digital will eventually win. It's getting there. But not yet.
