Source matters! If you have good vinyl collection, you don't want to switch to digital source. I have 30 years of LP collection and a Linn LP12. Sometimes I ripped the LP to PC with 24bits/96khz wav and convert into CD. The copied CD definetly sounds better from my YBA Integre CD player compare with CD version of the same recording. I couldn't tell the difference when compare the copied CD to the LP which is the source of the copied CD. I believe that the SACD is a competetive format to LP but you really don't find a lots of good recording in SACD.
Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio
Has anyone ever witnessed a competition between a really nice vinyl set up and a high resolution Computer Audio set up?
Something like the HDCD Reference Recordings using digital masters, Lynx sound card, and a nice DAC (Berkley Aplha DAC?) vs a classic Linn Sondek or a similar high end turntable set up? Which set up would you rather have if it was going to be delivered to your house tomorrow? Vinyl or computer?
