Digital audio and stress

That depends what conclusion you wish to reach.

Some DAC's stress me out, being edgy and clinical. While others very analog detailed and sweetness. I would like to offer some blind listening tests with current dac/pre power amp and speakers, streaming audio and SACD and CD. Even during long listening sessions I don't feel a trace of stress, just the opposite.

Receive PLL is one reason.

Perfect, I can bring my turntable, I have lot of freetime.

I live in Ottawa, are you reasonable close driving distance?

I listen to classical music 99% of the time

It would be interesting, Ive tables too, and do like them too and have done comparisons of my own. Im a bit of a fuss pot with sound one of the onlt sources I can not play much anymore is FM. It doesn't seem to matter what they play, or what I play it on in regards to grade of tuner, analog or digital equal to a 4-5 gang. Ive let a few nice ones go and dont miss them.

I have surgical pins holding the ligaments in place for my thumb when Im healed up and better able to host and move things around we can set something up. Another plus with digi is its ease of use 😀

I also meant to ask whats Pll?

What a load of rubbish...
Read my comment on digital photography its the same there, digital photography is overtaking analogue in terms of resolution and sharpness... the same with audio only for a longer period.
And if that don't convince you go look at ATLAS (CERN)

Please be more xact and do not use such language!

Digital photography has been able to raise resolutions thru the years, because cameras do not need to show foreign records, all they must do is record new ones. But i was writing about the Compact Disc, thou know fsamping=44KHz 16 bits linear. This format has not changed since 1980. And CERN does not impress me, no matter how much hardware they throw at common madness.

Maybe soon he will tell us that he has spent his life designing radio receivers, and some of them have sold extremely well so he must be right.

Point a finger at someone, three fingers point back at thee. I told thee allegories about cut bamboo sticks, spinnig wheels of magnetic tape and Captain Sensible morsing "Hello!", trying to get to thee that everything we do matters. All i got from thee was code names and contempt.

If you doubt that, I guess you have a method to calculate or guesstimate the information bandwidth in each medium, to conclude one is larger (or not) than the other?

Can you explain the method you used?

CD has 98dB dynamic range, they say. Substract one Bel for sampling rate much too low. Substract another Bel for quantization, which is a correlated noise, while vinyl background noise is uncorrelated, say much less intrusive.

Vinyl grooves get dirty and wear out. CDs do not. Yet somehow i do not love any CD as much as i love some vinyl records. I have selfmade ("burnt") CDs and lasers which start to fade, then often outputting disgusting noises, especially in more modern (DVD, CD-ROM) players (which should be better than older ones, but are actually worse), while a vinyl record in worst case just jumps. Analogue wears, digital rots.

Thanks for the entertainment! Very creative.
I think I need more popcorn...

I think you are using to much bandwidth, with your views, you should be on the vinyl heads forum.
