      Sigh, I need to remember to never read the YouTube comments on @Techmoan videos. There is *always* a huge misguided discussion about analog vs. digital that raises my blood pressure. Your argument is invalid unless you have ABX tests to back it. Hint: digital does.

      Analog is great and fun and fascinating and good analog can sound great but. Stop. Claiming. It's. Fundamentally. Better. Than. Digital. It just isn't. Ever. CDs can reproduce the entirety of the human hearing range under all practical conditions. Full stop.

          If you the words "infinite sample rates" or "time resolution" or "16 bits of dynamic range" or "24bit/192k" are now popping into your head as counterarguments, you need to watch this video and try again: https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml …

          analog can have imperfections that make it sound more pleasing to the (your) ear, but I don't think there are many people that are making that argument

          That's called a mastering effect. Then you take the analog output, digitize it again, and burn it onto a CD. Voila.

          It's funny that with all tech now, records are still the only tech that can hold information the longest without loss or corruption

          That is certainly true. Analog is a lot more apocalypse-proof than digital. Digital is really good at preserving stuff *perfectly*, but if you mess up it's gone, and it requires maintenance. Analog degrades, but you can always get something out of it.

          44.1kHz/16bit is not always the same though. ignoring overall recording quality. IMO the highs of early CDs from the 80s sound worse than contemporary releases. There were a lot improvements made to both DACs and ADCs (mainly oversampling and other stages)

          I'm not talking about *specific* ADCs/DACs. I'm talking about the format. The format is mathematically defined; of course you have to use hardware that can fully utilize it or else you'll have a substandard result.
