RE: Audio transformers and hi-resoluition digital

I attended digital audio training at Bang and Olufsen in the mid-'80s. Not that I remember all that much of it, but one thing I know: resolution isn't frequency response. Resolution is the value of the increments available to reproduce the signal, or in other words, bits per volt. Within this definition, analog processing provides near-infinite resolution. Digital audio doesn't even come close. Regrettably, my hearing no longer allows me to detect differences so easily. My daughter, on the other hand, can readily discern the higher fidelity of an LP vs standard CDs, even when reproduced by my lowly tube-type circuitry. :)
