JD - As you may know, I am a vinyl snob. My only exposure to digital has been via my ipod nano and music downloads from youtube. Needless to say, my digital experience has been "limited".
So, based upon this post I decided to download a few of the sample tracks from HDTT. Two thoughts immediately came to mind when listening to these tracks. Remember, I have downloaded these FLAC files, then converted to AIFF. Then converted again to AAC, which is near MP3 regarding digital file formats. I am playing the AAC files thru my ipad nano, and a cheap interconnect. The rest of my system is SOTA.
Here is what grabbed me:
1. The music was fantastic. Each of the sample sound tracks had immediacy not previously experienced by myself. It was some of the best musicianship I have heard. No wonder why they chose these recordings to bring into the 21st century.
2. The sonics were also top rate. Yes there were some minor quibbles about a few of the piano recordings, but for the most part, the sonics were better than almost all other recordings. Especially the sample download of Frédérick Chopin: Nocturne, Opus 27, No. 2. The playing was so subtle and delicate that it drew the listener into the venue. Completely hypnotizing.
So, my question to everyone is as follows: Given that I really enjoyed the HDTT downloads and playing them thru very limited compression files and an ipod nano, how much better could I expect the sonics to be on a nice digital player that can play full FLAC files? Can these files approach or exceed vinyl? If so, JD, then you might have a possible convert from vinyl to digital.
All comments are welcome.
