We're not comparing recordings or formats of similar quality. Almost all digital is produced at inferior sample rates and bit depths.At 384 kHz 32 bit, digital is fully competitive with vinyl. Even at 192 kHz 32 bit, I don't miss listening to the LP.
Typical WAV file sizes for 1 album side:
192k 24 bit -- 1.5 GB
192k 32 bit -- 2 GB
384k 32 bit -- 4 GBAD converters used in testing:
Prism Orpheus (Firewire)
Lynx Hilo (USB)
RME ADI-2 Pro (USB)Current DA converters:
Bryston BDA-3 (USB)
Lynx Hilo
RME ADI-2 ProAll audiophiles should demand high-resolution digital files! 192 kHz 24 bit is the lowest acceptable resolution. When these digital files are available as original studio production (not upsampled later), the sonic advantages of LPs will be negligible.
Happy listening.
