Do you like vinyl? If you do, it's because you listened to it and decided it sounded good. You certainly didn't measure it and discover it has so little distortion it had to sound good. Of course not! Vinyl has more distortion and noise than just about any other format I've encountered. Furthermore, the distortion and noise is nearly all in the audible range. Therefore, the only way anyone can like vinyl is if they use there ears to make that decision. If that's the case, you should listen to DSD256 and let your ears be the judge.

Good luck,
John Elison

When CD's came out, I couldn't unload my LP's fast enough. Regarding DSD256, I already agreed with you that it sounds great, even though my preference is for PCM. (See further below.)

All I'm objecting to are these DSD-Yahoos who think that, ooh!, 0-to-100kHz frequency response (or whatever) is the ultimate - to the naive exclusion of any other consideration.
- No one, especially me, says that is the Only reason. - oldmkvi 09:21:31 09/13/20 (0)
