Flat earth, Scientology, dowsing rods, ... willful ignorance is hard to fight.
Anyone with basic understanding of A/D conversion and sampling theory will understand that you can always exceed analog with digital, given enough bits (and 2*16 @ 44.1 kHz is already pretty darn good).
In the early days of MPEG Audio, Level 2 (not mp3) I spent a lot of time listening to samples and I was taken aback when I finally traced flaws back to the CD itself (Cranberries, Zombie, 1994). Many of the early CDs really weren't that great, but that wasn't due to being "digital", just a sloppy production.
- mrandish 4y agoAgreed. So much of the early negativity around "digital" and "compression" was due to avoidable mistakes made when mastering some particular pieces of media back in the early days.
