A) Digitizing by itself has nothing to do with the generally poor sound of cds these days. Many cds up until the mid to late '90s were excellent.
B) A lot of modern recorded music has NEVER existed in analogue form before it comes out of the speakers.
C) Analogue processing is just as capable of killing music as digital processing. The kings of over-compression, the Lord-Alge brothers, use nothing but vintage analogue compressors and some of them are valve powered.
Oddly enough some time ago they played compressed and uncompressed music to random music lovers.
They were played the music of their choice in both versions and asked which they prefer.
Turns out that pop and metal fans liked theirs uncompressed while classical and jazz aficionados very much preferred the compressed versions.
