On a top of the line, state of the art audio system, played through a
$2500 or better D to A converter, good CDs ripped into iTunes on my
Mac (or PC) using Apple's lossless compression (same as the CD,
basically), digitally sourced music sounds very sweet. Probably
because it is pumped through a conga line of vacuum tubes to get to
the speakers, which themselves are another analog stage to pass through.
But vinyl sounds warmer, with better staging, and more air, ultimately.
