HD Down Load compared to Analog.
Tonywinsc, I don't know what you're waiting for? After your wait you'll still be faced with the same options and decisions. With HD you can have Class "A" audio through your computer. This is the same as if you had Class "A" analog gear. That's wh...

Hey you guys, Rok, Frogman, and Leersfool, I've just discovered something that's absolutely fantastic, It's called HD Downloads. It's been fantastic for me anyway, and that's because I only use it for records I already have; that way I'm sure of t...

Frogman, learsfool, and Rok, the reason they can never get it right, or get it wrong a lot of times, is because they are working on two different sounds, one for who ever is on the stage, and another for whoever is far out into the audience. When ... 
HD Down Load compared to Analog.
After upgrading some of my old vinyl treasures to what for me was the ultimate, I'm quite satisfied. There just isn't enough new music to go overboard on HD Downloads, and I'm contented with my analog rig.Let me tell you about something that reall... 
HD Down Load compared to Analog.
Petepappp, I have a 2 track Technics reel to reel, and everything that's recorded sounds better on playback. The sound stage is bigger with more depth and definition. Most people don't believe that. Now the problem is no tape available. While the ...

Frogman, "Mingus Ah Um" certainly works for me. He was so far ahead of his time.Enjoy the music.

Smatsui, as an "audiophile" it's understood that you have to do your homework in regard to putting a system together. Forget about "Stereophile" altogether, and you still have to have a very expensive analog system to get sound better than a HD Do... 
HD Down Load compared to Analog.
I can not recommend HD Downloads for anyone who is not a computer "Geek", or doesn't know one. Something went wrong with my HD Downloads, and I was about to go crazy, when I decided to call my "Geek". He said the computer had to be reset. I have n...

Zd542, if for a moment we can just drop "Stereophile" out of this equation, and designate a particular level of "sonic" quality as class "A", all will become clear. This is something I've only heard at high end emporiums. Once was with all top of ...

Zenblaster, "In my comparison evaluation, I used Santana "Abraxas" as the test LP. Since I've worn out 5 copies of this album, to say I'm familiar with it is an understatement. "Singing Winds And Crying Beasts" is the first cut, it has "tinkly" so... 
HD Down Load compared to Analog.
Raulirgras, and Chayro; there are more variables in this game than you can shake a stick at. There are current CD's, not old music on new CD's; but new music recently recorded that is better than my HD Downloads of old music. You have to take all ... 
HD Down Load compared to Analog.
When such places as high end emporiums were available, I went to these places like someone who was on a mission, my mission was to verify, or nullify Stereophile's rating system. For me, I verified Stereophile's rating system.I'm going to give you...

No doubt, if you have the right equipment, analog can be better than digital, but at what price? That's something you can't get around, and no amount of mixing and matching is going to change that.

Rok, "Mingus' Oh Yeah" could very well work for me as "pick of the day". I've got just about everything by Mingus, including that.Enjoy the music. 
Dac Questions from an Analogue guy :
Vinylmad, in regard to 24/96 and 16/94, there is a big difference, but only in regard to HD downloads. 44.1 KHZ is the standard sampling rate for CD's, 96 KHZ is what you want from a HD download. That would read 24/96 for a high resolution down lo...
