RE: The panel preferred analog tape with no AD/DA to all other encodes/decodes

Hi John,

No PCM in the shootout?

"...were people voting for what they were nostalgic about, or, do wide-format very fast analog tape and record/playback electronics have some fundamentally euphonic character?"

Perhaps, they anticipated less post processing to obtain the desired sound...the finished product?

"Most consumer DSD playback is via PCM, that's why they call it "DoP." "
This is a kludge, imo.

Vbr,
Sam
