a large part of the issue is in mastering. In analog, its ok to use low level recordings. Not true in digital. You need the bits to get detail and the number of bits is also correlated to volume , unfortunately.

Over the years I notice my discs are getting louder and louder. And they do sound better.

Also, although it receives very little mention, the analog sections are greatly improving. employing judicious filtering to roll off the RFI edginess, although I believe the pendulum has swung a bit too far in that direction.

Then there's "jitter" - Lew 16:54:38 08/02/15 (1)
Apparently some of the sonic improvement has to do with the appreciation of the jitter phenomenon and how to fix it, or so we are led to believe (or beleive).

  What was interesting is, as an former HK dealer. I had access to service manuals . In the early 1990's their top line models ( 7500, 7600) had jitter figures in the very low teens ( 12-14), much lower than any separate stand alone DAC and transport. Makes you wonder, and I used all the tricks: reclockers, upwards dithering, trick cables and such.
