So, where do we get good digital "masters", good 1st generation dubs…
The problem is that industry, it it’s absolutely dominating majority, does not recognize even the existence of such a thing as “digital master". The original record file does not consider not as anything relic but rather as a first step in the long journey of “mastering”. Those peoples (using juts a first level of listing assessment) do not consider that EQ, limiting, compression, artificial reverberations, digital change volume, upsampling, downsampling, change resolution, rendering, engaging any of DSP operation pretty much destroy permanently the very fine nuances of sonic signature. Take any good recorded file and change gain for 0.1 dB on just one channel – it kills everything mortal in Sound of this file…

I spoke with some studio and they admit that they do not even keep the original raw files as the feel that further improvements “made it better anyway”. I asked one of those guys why he doing his wife “as is” and do not expose her to some plastic surgeries . He does not want to talk to me anymore, I wonder why..
