Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
I know this is an hot button for many, but here goes... I like vinyl and have many albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I'm interested in some 80's and 90's albums - like U2, REM, Nirvana, but I wonder if they will sound any better than streaming since they were probably recored digitally.
“I listened to a Rose rs150 ($5000), but it didn't sound 4 times better than the Bluesound Vault.” Bluesound iOS app is very nice. I suggest trying an external DAC with Vault, you should hear noticeable improvement over its internal DAC which is decent at best. May be consider a NOS DAC like Border Patrol, |
Cutting vinyl from a digital source if done by top remastering engineers Ryan Smith CHris Bellman Bernie ect… the digital to vinyl can absolutely improve the file that beats digital playback in most cases the vinyl reissue is typically been better a cd playback on a pretty nice Luxman player Poor mastering = poor vinyl sound quality you can do a lot to a file Maybe choices that weren’t available at the time of the recording Biggest difference is a slight veiled with cd playback sound overall

Sorry, I got my decades mixed up on an earlier post. In the early 90s record labels stopped pressing vinyl. There were independent record plants who kept the presses going. Some "Audiophile" records were available. There were a few bands who released vinyl in addition to their CDs. These were bands who wanted their fans to play records. |
