RE: Comparing vinyl sound to hi-res digital remaster

I think if you buy a high-quality digital recorder and make some digital copies of your own LPs you will be able to answer your own questions much better than arguing with me about the situation.

Yes, digital recorders have monitor functions that allow you to hear the digital conversion in real time when making a recording. And, yes, I have done tape/source monitor testing when recording vinyl records. Any differences from the analog stages are so small that I don't hear them and most of my friends don't hear them, either. I have only had one audiophile friend over that could reliably detect the difference and he claimed it was a very small difference. This test was done with an Alesis Masterlink digital recorder using 24/96 digital. I think DSD 5.6-MHz is a different story, but you should buy a TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder and make your own test. These recorders cost only $1000 and you might be quite surprised at the results.

Best regards,
John Elison
