Home Digital Drive

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

skill testing question ...

>>No hard feelings however it's not your fault growing up in the digital age.<<

I'm 54, bought my first Yami receiver/turntable at 12, obviously I grew up with ONLY vinyl & tape. In terms of "musicality", well, my father and brother were experienced musical performers. I grew up with piano's, several types of guitars and many wind instruments. I attend at least a dozen concerts annually ... so ... I believe I've developed a pretty firm grasp on the true meaning of "musicality" - from many a perspective.

And on an absolute basis, my vinyl rig is amazingly realistic, using best case software it has trumped 100% of all digital contenders it's ever faced, including a few very serious SACD players.

Therefore ...

I ask: why would I be content listening to my particular CDP 95% of the time, especially considering my long developed musical experience/expectations + having access to a great sounding vinyl rig, always on tap?

A: Because I'm not smoking pot.
B: Because I grew up with CD and therefore drank the coolaid.
C: Because I have human, not bat ears.
D: Because my CDP meets my "analog" based expectations.

(hint: not A or B, or C)
