no. digital is a way to create (perfect) storage and reproduction thereof
due to
the fact you only need an acurate list of numbers.

but music and sound is analog, and an analog system with no D/A or A/D
converters is more accurate by rule of simplicity.



** Just like a horse and cart is a better mode of transport !!!!!!!!

What a colossal ****wit !!!!

so you say taking an audio signal on one hand, and on the other hand passing it
through a set of D/A and A/D converters, there is no difference between them? no
digitization errors? you didn't graduate college, did you?

There is no *audible* difference, which is what matters. There's also
no measurable difference above -90dB from 5Hz to 20kHz, which is
seriously impressive.

don't mistake added noise with quality of reproduction, as in the case of
scratchy vinyl!


** Audible noise is bad reproduction per se.

i say quality of reproduction as in the fidelity of the signal. some people
equate the added noise of vinyl as a change in this fidelity, which is not true.
ie a sine wave would look the same, it is not distorted, there is merely noise
added. this is different then a distortion of the waveform. you need to think in
more then one dimension.

Actually, the signal is badly distorted *as well* as noisy.

an analog system with greater resolution will sound better then a digital
system, assuming you can hear the distortion products.

There is however *no* analogue system which approaches even 16/44, let
alone 24/96.

** A cart with enough horses is better that a car ??

depends on what you're doing. pulling a wreck out of a ditch is easier with a
team of horses then with a ford escort, which probably wouldn't do it. your
imagination is as lacking as your education, it would seem.


the last studio reel to reel machines that were made had a S/N of up to
120db,
far better than CD.

** Massive, stupid lie.

i had the spec sheet for that particular tape machine a while back, it was
running at 30ips. i'd look for it, but you aren't worth the trouble.

You had no such spec sheet, that's utter rubbish.

as for other systems, high freq. FM modulation tape systems also beat out
CD.


** Second massive, stupid lie.

it's not my fault you are so limited in your knowledge of technical devices. you
could try looking up video tape sound for a start.

Look it up yourself - it's way behind 16/44 digital. The limited
knowledge is yours, as is the analogue bigotry.

Another demented vinyl bigot for sure.

another person who revels in labeling people in a pitiful attempt to elevate
their status. it's too bad you can't place yourself above other people, you are
so low you can only think to shovel the masses beneath you. sorry, but even a
skinny fellow like myself couldn't possibly fit in the social space beneath the
likes of you!

Finally, a true statement! :-)
