RE: Digital and difference in DACs

Todd,

What you are saying about older CD's is consistent with what I am hearing on my system. I have been very surprised at just how good some of the older CD's sound. Even some that I used as demo disks, before I even owned a CD players, have more information on them than I was able to get off of them with the first few generations of CD players.

I have done some comparison with the latest Stereo remixes of the Beatles to the earlier Parlophone mix CD. Actually, I was doing this because of your posts on these recordings that you made quite a wile ago. They sounded very different to me. The newer mixes had a lot of detail and image specificity (Abbey Road). But the older CDs sounded more blended, like a live performance. I also have the mono box set, but I thought that the stereo would be more even to compare. I could see how someone could prefer either one, and to be honest, I have not decided which one I prefer, but there is an obvious difference.
