When is digital going to get the soul of music?


I have to ask this(actually, I thought I mentioned this in another thread.). It's been at least 25 years of digital. The equivalent in vinyl is 1975. I am currently listening to a pre-1975 album. It conveys the soul of music. Although digital may be more detailed, and even gives more detail than analog does(in a way), when will it convey the soul of music. This has escaped digital, as far as I can tell.

ok ...you know who

digital vs. analog vs solid state vs tubes vs IC's vs Kramer.

I have read and seen and heard and have been told , that a top end TT has a hard time against a top cd. we have heard some say cd tops the TT. It's been said that a 1k TT blows away a 25K cd . Now depending on the combo's and mix of prices and wires and ALL that is hi-fi ,you guys have managed to describe CONFUSION . For when a member tries to get the real deal here as far as LOGIC , there is none.

Don't get me wrong ,I'm describing All that is in this site concerning whatever you want to compare or slice and dice.

When a communication is one of logic then one finds answers to questions and can go further in producing more solution to problems. This is logic and REASON.

When a communication is based on confusion then we get this phenomenon of no reason or irrational or no answers or solutions to any problem.We cannot make any advance progress this way.

Now , if this was a confused source of information then.....1, we would have misunderstanding of the subject hi-fi...check
2. we would purchase components based on cofusion and sell it and soon after not getting the satifaction etc...check
3. with confusion our realities towards each others sounds would be ,not so real after all. and would be a source of flames ....check.

4. an audiophile would be always searching through the confusion for a better sound. This is due to confusion ...check.

5 when always faced with confusion ...unless one puts order into the FACTS ,one will always be confused ,lost and going around on a merry go round etc...check..
6 >>>>to infinity you will never resolve the problem under the cloud of confusion.
Infinity + one. When a person is selling ,buying ,cheating,attacking, misleading ,profits , shipping hassles, broken promises, . How does one trust or keep the confusion to a minimum? I'll let you write up the rest.




Serus (Ori), I really hoped you can make it over tomorrow at 3PM. At this point I hope your customer Mmakshak makes it over. Since he has visited you in the past, I am sure he can give you a nice report. Please feel free to contact me at any time and schedule e visit.

I've heard about your cables. People say they are amazing. I hope Mmakshak will bring your latest tomorrow for A-B test against my ICs.

The reason I wanted you to stop by tomorrow is because I still have the re-engineered Esoteric UX-1 Universal Player. This one was supposed to be my own, but the first one I built got stolen in a DHL warehouse in Belgium (another DHL horror story), so I will need to send this one to Europe early next week. I will sure have another one, but I don't really know when. :-(....It really deserves to be heard as it does not have any signs of “Digital”.

Regards,
Alex
Robm321, I would agree with you to the extent that the IMPLEMENTATION of Digital is clearly inferior to vinyl. Please believe me when I say that, if you need 5 things to make vinyl sounds best, you need at least 50 to make Digital sound best.

A really nice guy and also owner of $100K SOTA vinyl setup visited me at the CES show. I played 88.2KHz/24bit DVD-A for him which I have personally recorded from a $25K vinyl setup. Although the 25K vinyl can not compare with 100K vinyl, the above mentioned gentleman agreed that it was just like the actual vinyl was playing - no sign of digital. We have also A-B-ed this recording with the actual 25K vinyl setup it was recorded from. There is no difference one can hear.

I will soon visit the nice gentleman with the 100K vinyl setup and will record 96KHz/24bit DVD-A out of it. There will not be any difference on A-B test, I guarantee it. Bottom line is that whatever vinyl carries as information can be captured and reproduced with Digital without any negative artifact to the ear. Digital offers the resolution and sound quality of vinyl; it’s just that it takes a lot more with it to get it right.

Alex
