Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?


More accurate, mind you, not better sounding. We've all agreed on that one already, right?

How about more precise?

Any metrics or quantitative facts to support your case is appreciated.

Ralph,

I run a recording studio so we see this sort of comparison all the time. I get asked, 'why do you have all this old analog crap?' all the time. I just sit them down and play the difference.
Ah...that was beautiful ;-)

Vbr,
Sam

Al, Ralph,

How about DSD?

In a direct transfer --no remixing or remastering-- of an AAA, 1/2", half-track, 15/30 ips reel master...which product/process, Redbook CD or DSD64, would yield the nearest fidelity to the source/master tape?

Would the answer change if the evaluation were made in a 64-bit DAC and DSD128 environment?

Thanks for your consideration,

Sam
