RE: confusion again

> But really I think we are talking about two very different things.

You're right!

Let's suppose you're right about everything. You can still copy a vinyl record in DSD128 like I do, and save the LP while playing the digital copy. I've found that high-resolution digital copies like DSD128 sound identical to the vinyl record. Therefore, you can preserve the LP and play the digital copy.

I store my digital copies in triplicate in case a hard drive goes bad. That way I won't lose the digital recording. You can also make duplicate copies periodically to keep them alive if you feel they fade over time. That's the beauty of digital. It's just numbers and they don't change if you take care of them. You can duplicate a digital recording as many times as you like and all the duplicates will be perfectly identical to the original.

Anyway, if you're concerned with the longevity of the digital recording, you can always retain the vinyl and find out if one outlasts the other. However, with proper care, I'm sure you can preserve both for a long time!

Happy listening!
