listen for yourself.....

.....to hirez digital and tape on a regular basis.

I do in my system......and while I enjoy hirez digital quite a bit and have 5 terabytes of dsd and 2xdsd files that I listen to often, my 1/4" and 1/2" master tapes are sonically better on my 2 Studer A-820's.

like morricab mentions; you simply hear much farther into the music with tape. quite a bit more detail on the tape. and if you compare a hirez dub of an Lp to a tape dub of the same Lp it is not close. the hirez dub (even 2xdsd) misses something and the tape does not. you need an appropriately capable tape deck of course.
