In Reply to: RE: The problem is the obsolete CD format, not digital. posted by John Elison on September 05, 2015 at 21:41:31
In the early 80's our studio got there first digital equipment. a Mitshubiche 2 trac and multi track. For us playback was also indistinguishable from the live feed. The problem always when we sent the master out to produce cds when we got a test cd and played back on what ever was the then state of the art cd player the cd sounded nothing like the master tape. I have copied vinyl to a little Zoom recorder at 24/88 and that file sounds identical to the lp

Well, that tells me that digital is definitely not the problem. It sounds to me like the people you sent your digital masters to decided to remaster the recordings. It seems unlikely the data would be changed in the CD manufacturing process otherwise. Another reason for the difference might have been the CD player you used.I know for a fact the CD players I owned were not a problem because the 16/44 Redbook CD-Rs I burned from my 24/88 digital recordings of vinyl sounded like vinyl to me. However, ultra expensive high-end CD players might present a problem.

Even when we gave instructions not to change anything in the mastering they did not sound the same. I think the problem was the early cd players. It was at the start of the digital age

I've ripped all my old CDs, but I rarely listen to them. I've got over two thousand albums in higher resolution digital, some of which sound exceptionally good. Still, a whole lot of my hi-rez stuff doesn't sound much better than CD.
Such is life! ;-)
