Re: too broad a brush

The end result in storing an analog signal digitally is the original analog signal. Digital is just a means to an end. Is is perfect? Of course not, nothing is.

Here is my problem with your theory. I don't actually know what "crispness" is. I can imagine my own idea of crispness, and I can say categorically that I do not find all digial audio to be crisp. I've said before, quite possibly the best, most realistic sound I have ever heard from any audio was Ray Kimber's isomike demo at HE06. This was digital, DSD from his own hard drive into 6 EMM DACs. If crispness is supposed to denote something unnatural, this was not crisp.

This is what I mean by a broad brush.
