Curious - does anyone in here firmly believe vinyl LPs sound better than CDs or a high quality digitized version of the LP at 16/44? For the record, I have an LP player. I like quaint, traditional aspects of the ritual of playing vinyl (or these days, for that matter, CDs - because in my main rig as a rule I don't have either a vinyl or CD player anymore), but as to sound quality... nah. And anyone that argues about the importance of 120db dynamic range in playing hirez digital stuff, but then claims vinyl sounds better, probably needs some prescription for bipolar disorder. :-D
As to Casino Royale... wow. Sadly missing is this memorable song sure to test your entire chain https://youtu.be/dP9Wp6QVbsk ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 12) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105731 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
