In Reply to: Is sound quality of SACD better than that of best vinyl? posted by trying to be an Audiophhile on May 31, 2004 at 05:36:09:
To have any meaning, comparison between different playback formats must use studio mastertapes as reference, the source from which both formats are going to be mastered from. If you have ever worked in a studio environment in music production, you'll realised in no time that vinyl sound less closer to the mastertapes.The problem with digital playback is that the optical transports used to play the final product of digital - the optical discs, - are inherently instable, something not yet explained, but suspected to be related to the TOC reading process. What this means is that how you select a track determines the sound quality. You still get your one's and zero's, but they are arriving at the DAC stages at the wrong timing. Get your one's and zero's positioning wrong on the time axis means you get a disortion of the original musical waveform at the conversion stages. However there are some ways to get around this problem.
You can expect Tunenut to sing a different tune on this subject...
