Vinyl vs Digital

People go back to vinyl and cassette because they sound much better than most mp3 and cd. Vinyl sounds warmer, open and full compared to mp3 which sounds colder, stripped down and compressed. There are strong supporting reason on the either side of the spectrum, but what can't be argued is that vinyl produces a cleaner, dynamic range than digital. On paper, digital looks better because it can produce 90-96 dB versus vinyl's 60-80 dB. But after dynamic range compression practices use and recording digitally, vinyl comes out on top. You can see easily the differences in comparison of sound waves.

The first thing you'll notice is that the CD Copy is louder and you'd think it'll be a good thing but check out what would happen if you lower down to match the vinyl's level of volume .

The compression stays the same and stays brick wall which causes clipping issues. The vinyl recording has many more peaks and valleys, thus containing a greater sense of dynamic range.

But !!!

Our music players are engineered correctly, to sound full, clear, and detail, without being fatigued. So, how we do it right?

1. Digital electronics have problems with digital processing noises. We isolate the digital side and the analog audio side. 2. We designed the circuit with better stability and frequency considerations much more in depth then a typical design. 3. We use very high quality parts and use long term listening experience as the judgment, if the parts are appropriate for the circuitry.
