As a long-time recording engineer and mixer, my preference is for digital as it is what I heard in the studio. Mastering for vinyl and pressing a record changes the sound significantly from the master mix. No doubt that some people prefer the way the vinyl process changes the sound, but it is not the same mix the artist, producer and engineer heard in the studio.
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?
Hi all,
I recently acquired a PS audio Nuwave dac which has eliminated most of the digital harshness compared with my old dac but it's still not as smooth and harsh-free like vinyl. I was wondering if it's worth pursuing that analog sound from digital without spending a fortune and if it's even possible. I know lots of digital lovers will say digital can be as good as vinyl but is it really?
