Until very recently, all digital was pure crap. Those "Golden Ear" critics (like JA, Marks, and ST at SP and SS at TAS) who have been praising digital FOR DECADES simply don't know what live music sounds like (yes, I know JA makes CD recordings). Compare reel-to-reel analogue copies of master tapes to any digital, and it's clear that digital is still a step backward in audio quality. ALL digital is over processed!!! Why? Because music is, and ALWAYS WILL BE, analogue. digital has to take the original analogue sound, and after converting that sound to bits, and, then, after processing those bits in billions (trillions?) of ways, has to RECONVERT those digital bits back to analogue!!! Add in compression, and you have the crap digital that apologists have been selling us for decades. Check out Steve Guttenberg's "As We See It" column in the March Stereophile. Modern digital is almost always a deflavorizing machine, robbing music of it's soul!
