Perhabs, wlowes.

Might I ask you: when you refer to “sonic improvements”, “brought more life to the music”, deep quiet background and etc then what do you mean? What I am trying to say is that your rational might be logical and lucid but I wonder if you motivated by architectural consideration of contemporary digital; playback or you are driven by some kind your own specific sonic considerations?

There are tone of action doing on today in digital domain and little each month a new DAC hit production or new card/player “invented” that made a new DAW configuration possible. I do not argue – some of them might be good or better but I think a fight for DAW improvement, in my mind, a bit self-serving as we have no opportunity to get music for our DAWs. The source materials for the most part are already destroyed, very much as you said and if we had some accidental source that were not exposed to the idiocy of the cretins in headphones then they are most likely very bad music.
I use to react to the industry alert about this or that site posted a new 2X pr 4x 24 bit recording but after downloading many of them I observed that they are barbarian performances that I would never play in my room anyhow. So, I am a bit at dismay with DAW improvements as I am not sure why we need them. I am not against it but I do not see too much practical purpose of doing it.

An interesting question. With your unquestionably good DAW playback – can you play a digital LP dub, or 15ips ½ inch tape dub, that would sound the same as your original LP or tape?
