Digital superiority technically speaking cd is a generally superior medium.
Vinyl vs lossless.
I do admit vinyl is fun and nostalgic with the crackles imperfect grooves and the feeling you get when you put the needle on the record.
You just need a decent turntable with a decent needle on it and you re going to enjoy.
The thing about vinyl that s attractive is its physical presence.
Check out our listening results.
But sometimes the vinyl version will have better dynamic range.
Being digital cds don t work with a continuous analogue wave but effectively take photographs at different points.
But is it better than digital music.
See our youtube debate.
But with a flac you will get the same thing no matter what.
People who complain about the fact a digital recording is quantized don t understand signal processing.
Vinyl is the only consumer playback format we have that s fully analog and fully lossless gonsalves said.
We compare the sound quality of analog vinyl vs digital audio cd flac on a 100k stereo setup.
Im back into my vinyl again now and its true you can never replicate the same warmth and feeling from any digital format but i think flacs and apple lossless are a decent enough alternative for me and the digital files i choose to play with.
If you place a huge amount of importance in precise sound reproduction of recordings digital lossless is the way to go albeit only possible with a competent dac.
Lossless digital is far superior when it comes to accurate capture of audio signal.
The results may surprise you as they did us.
Essentially then all the information of a recording is housed within the disc meaning it is in effect the only truly lossless audio format and it is up to your turntable and other components as to how well it is translated.
How to convert vinyl.
There are several reasons at least one of them valid.
Your new recorded file will have a great detailing of music.
You can set the sample rates and other attributes and format to wav as it is a lossless conversion.
In 2014 the digital entertainment group consumer electronics association and the recording academy together with record labels formally defined high resolution audio as lossless audio that is capable of reproducing the full range of sound from recordings that have been mastered from better than cd quality music sources.
Vinyl is a bit inconsistent.
If you ask me it s just like trying to figure out how you want your pizza.
As long as you re using quality ingredients you re not going to be disappointed with your meal.
That question depends entirely who you ask.
In short vinyl is fun but flac is more consistent.
Maybe you can go to the nearest music shop and ask about it.
