"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
no analysis of any possible differences would be meaningful without a full assessment of the encoding algortihms and file formats, and an explaination of how different reliable digital storage mechanisms could possibly vary the contents of the digital files delivered to the DAC, with all the error correction and detection methods built into modern kit
Guitars are made of vibrating parts and electromagnetic pickups, and have thousands of nuances to vary. A digital file can either be retrieved intact or not, this technology flies planes and drives cars, it's not made using 1950s-style springs and bits of wire and magnets.
If the article is real, it's another example of the bullshit "i'm the high priest, listen to me" audiophile crap that has been spun since I was a kid to achieve unearned gravitas and to make money from the gullible
Shortly after buying a usb DAC for my laptop I started to notice comments on forums saying that the digital files must be on the main hard drive - not on a usb hard drive - because the second usb port may be on the same circuit as the usb DAC.
I have so far ignored this....
My advice is: Just relax and listen.
If you discover that you are now listening to the whole album, and that when it finishes you listen to another recording, and you again listen to the whole freaking album, and that this is something that you have not experienced for 20 years, then I am going to conclude that you have done something right - whatever that something is.
Just keep an open mind.
Is Neil Young crazy? Possibly
Is Neil young right? Possibly
Is anyone really thinking that modern computers have trouble handling an mp3?
you can record many tracks of WAVs in parallel to a normal PC's hard disk now
