Analog vs Digital, VINYL vs. CD - bitPERFECT with Andrew Robinson EP02
WARNING: This video may cause some audiophiles to combust. I want to have an honest discussion about the analog vs digital debate, and is it possible it's all in our minds?

NOTE, 8/14/19 - Just after recording this video I noticed that one of my TIDAL settings had changed (likely due to an update) and I did not catch it before publishing this video. All things considered, even TIDAL "HiFi" quality had little difference between it and CD, and conversely vinyl. It should also be noted, that for a lot of people the "difference" in formats might be little more than a change in SPL. For example, through the Technics SL-G700 SACD/CD/Media Player, physical CDs had (on average) a +7-10dB increase over streaming (in any format). It's an even greater difference between CD and vinyl. Match the SPL levels and things become EVEN MORE MURKY. We will be discussing Hi-Res or MASTER quality audio in a future video. Thanks for watching, apologize for any potential confusion.
