Post Subject: It is all about hard surface.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/12/2011

I think 11 years after High-Resolution formats hit wide public it is possible to make some generalizations. I can not comment on SACD. I do not use it and consider it being an fraudulent crap. I do not do DVD-A as I do not like it and consider it garbage. I play 2X and 4X raw PCM files. I do not insist that my 24 bit playback is as perfect as it might be but I think it does very well to serve my need and let me to understand the level at which 24-bit PCM able to operate.

So, what I observe is that my High-Resolution format still quite behind compare to what a good LP playback can do with a properly pressed record. With all misery of LP playing and with all objective limitations of LP recordings the Sound from LP is much more involving and much more discrimination to what it plays. I think the reason is that hard surface contact that hyper-hygienic audio of nowadays do not care so much.
