CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

another ear crusher and another insight: last night I played Wilson Philips, 3 women with high voices combined with piss poor mastering, which I can only play when making changes, though it is now sounding better.

What was especially exciting, I was able to hear the emotion in their singing

I owe it to New Dark Matter

I used to believe it was impossible for digital music to sound as good- let alone better than vinyl. But I defy ANYONE in an apple to apple comparison to tell me a vinyl record sounds better than a red book CD ripped bit perfect to a Mac using Pure Music software with a PS Audio DirectStream DAC as the source. And a double defy a person to prove that any record can sound as good as this same CD played on a PS Audio DMP player (transport only). 

@krell_fanVinyl will always sound better than red book simply because it is pure analog without conversion from analog to digital and back. 

Yeah, but I heard that most music has been recorded digitally for quite a while now. Older analog tape recordings are often converted to digital for mixing and mastering too and once all that analog information has been lost you can’t get it back.
