In Reply to: too broad a brush posted by tunenut on August 7, 2006 at 15:03:14:
I have heard a wide variety of digital front ends and have concluded that those that don't sound somewhat unnaturally crisp use some kind of processing that muddies the results in a way that some listeners call analogue and others just find muddy. My own (very good, very expensive) dac can sound superb on a lot of CD's but all but the best still have a trace of that crispness or starkness. Less than any other dacs I know of but still some. With video, I am always struck (in the store, never saw one in a home) by an unnatural F-64-like crispness in digital/HD that is initially impressive as hell, then artificial. I see some of this in digital photos too. Very impressive at first, then...well unreal. Middle tones seem suppressed. I'm far from drawing any conclusions here. But I am grateful for the responses and hope there are some more. Someone said that the end result of the digital process in audio is analogue...but does that analogue signal still have some of the qualities of the original...?
