Cringe worthy scenario is when someone plays vinyl for the “warm sound” but uses Bluetooth speakers...hence digitizing the sound with an ADC

- catblast01 6y agoWhy? Bluetooth isn’t perfect but it the fidelity is not so poor as to reverse the “warmth” of the analog distortion, and even a cheap ADC won’t either... it should reproduce it pretty well. What people get wrapped up in cognitive dissonance is that they equate “pleasing” with hi fidelity... but anything likeable about vinyl is because it is low fidelity — but if you tell certain people this they take it as a pretty personal attack. Anyway, a decent digital signal chain should reproduce this low fidelity pretty well including high bitrate SBC.
- slicktux 6y agoI agree with your statement; to give my initial comment some context I was poking fun at the ‘audiophiles’ that prefer vinyl for its analog characteristics but then unknowingly digitize it by using, for example, a Bluetooth speaker... I’m in no way an audiophile and if I want quality sound than WAV or FLAC is fine...but that’s just for certain albums ;)
