For your consideration, on the identical system...in the identical room...using music from the same original source (analog master tape dub) -- the 'best' I've heard has been: analog tape...DSD...vinyl...RBCD.
Unfortunately, levels weren't matched.

Where do you suppose hi-res PCM fits in?

Why, thank you, Reuben :-)
There has been discussion regarding hi-res PCM.
If I were recording in PCM and knew I was going to edit, later, I would invest in a hi-res A/D converter like Pacific Microsonics and work in 176.4/24 or 192/24 format.
Fortunately, there are the Korg MR-2000s, Tascam DA-3000, and Merging Technologies for DSD :-)

Tape is the limiting factor in a lot of LPs. If its possible to bypass it (which is really hard on the musicians, which is why direct-to-disk is so rare) the results are spectacular compared to tape.
D2D...expressed colloquially -- "doesn't suck." :-)

Are you saying that single analog master tape tube provided the best analog tape, DSD, vinyl and RBCD reproduction you've ever heard?
Given an analog master tape it seems it seems reasonable and somewhat expected your order of preference....
Give me rhythm or give me death!
My understanding was the master tape dub, DSD file, vinyl, and RBCD were all based on the same master tape.
The dub sounded 'best' to me. I was literally shocked at how close DSD emulated the analog tape dub. A discernible sonic difference was evident between DSD and vinyl. RBCD seemed woefully inadequate.
Of course, albeit the various formats may have been sourced from the identical master tape -- what occurred thereafter, e.g., EQ, remastering, etc., is unknown to me.

Sam
