Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Subjective opinions of DACs

This has been a very interesting source of comparison for me too. However, remastered CDs compared to the original LPs can give you considerable differences. It depends on how much "freedom" the remastering engineer has been given!

I made the comment on the Blue Note Reissues thread in the Vinyl Asylum that the remastered CD of Getz Au Go Go appeared to use a completely different mix to the original 1964 LP! The music is the same, but the inter-song applause and background noise was different for some tracks.
Needless to say, I loved the original LP more because I have been familiar with it since I was a little boy!
Sometimes the CD ends up being better than the LP when they fix up some of the blemishes...
That's really my point - it comes down to what pleases us rather than technical perfection.
