>>It is possible to hear music well below the noise floor in all digital formats.<<
I've heard far too many digital systems SUDDENLY loose minute details permanently lost behind some form of digital hash/fog. That lost information was often associated with venue, obviously limiting it's dimensionality.
In all those cases, musical information was curtailed at what I perceived as the "digital noise floor" of said player. Ironicly, some of the worse offenders I've heard were so-called ?higher-rez? SACD players.
At one point in digital history, not that long ago, ALL digital offered a 2 dimensional sound, with little to no dimensionality. Digital has since improved ...
Certain digital players offer superior low level detail retrieval with much deeper image quality - leading to a far more dimensional & dynamic presentation ... something the very best vinyl routine accomplished decades ago.
