RE: December Stereophile - Allnic D-5000 DHT

"those of us who are sensitive to digital artifacts and dislike digital sound"

That's a tricky one allright. Without a live source at hand how the heck do you sift out analog "sweetening" from digital "destruction"?

Since nothing's perfect I just go with what I like which, overall, is digital. But it's a complex decision which includes factors beyond just SQ such as reliability and convenience and ease of backup. I don't think there IS a "digital sound" or an "analog sound", it's really quite a bit more complex than that and towards the limits both can suck or thrill, depending... But analog can never match digital for long-term reliability and there is no fundamental limit to how good digital can get.

I guess we could get performers out of the loop and just play MIDI files... Would that be digital, analog or live?
