Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.

bluemoodriver-

Using digital, I can use DSP to pervert what the musician intended and produce a frequency response like you get from vinyl. I can set up a number of different DSP profiles for each track to replicate the way the sound worsens as the needle heads towards the hole. I can add a sample of surface noise. I can add random pops and clicks. I can make all lower frequency sound mono instead of stereo. I can make these pops and rumbles a little more annoying each time I play the same album.

Okay, okay, you're a pervert. Got it. But there you go again, trying to make digital sound like analog. Which is the point. It's never the other way around. Joke all you want, you know it's true, the standard is analog. Digital is for when you just don't care that much that it sucks.

@tomcy6 .
Rant?
Stating my pinion.
Insecurity? Clearly you are the one with the issue.

As I stated I enjoy both formats. I have a Simaudio 280D and the 260D transport $5000.00 in my digital and that is probably more than you do. So dump another $3500 in for good measure.

I will post what I like and you can opine about what you like.

Analog is the benchmark and you can not deny it.

later insecure digitalia boy.

please quit taking yourself so serious and stop being easily offended.

I would just enjoy your music however you please and allow others the same courtesy.

Did I deny you that right? I do not care if you enjoy midget porn. I was simply stating fact.

Just FYI, vinyl sound is not the goal for most digital listeners. We are looking for something much better and I think we will inevitably get it.

I said analog is the benchmark and it truly is. When you go see a band is it live analog or is it dead digital?

putz

Insecure digitalia boy

Har har 
I love it

@testpilot ......but with a streamer plus a $15/month subscription you can access unlimited HD music.  Who’s ahead now?  

I am,  I am into sound quality. It is quality not quantity kind of like the Airforce in Russia lots of cheap junk, One F18 can shoot down 16 of them at once..

Also remember those digital files are created from an analog master then butchered  err digitized by so called digital audio engineers (an apple app I am sure).

You can make an argument for each format, but in the end one chooses what works for them.
