i was comparing the qobuz version of Dirt by Alice in Chains with my vinyl pressing (both 2022 remasters) and i noticed that the digital version is a little too bright and it felt more compressed (drums in vinyl are more punchy). I am curious about why, especially about why the qobuz version sounds brighter.thanks

    The things you’re saying only work if polyvinyl chloride is assumed to be a theoretically perfect medium, which it obviously isn’t.

    The white noise you hear on lps is not “noise” in a traditional sense it’s “noise” that allows your cortex to fill in the gaps so to speak.

    The surface noise is the sound of friction. It limits the medium’s ability to reproduce the audio recorded in the waveform.

    If your computer can’t think fast enough well thats distortion

    No, the computer being unable to process the bitstream leads to dropout, not distortion.

    if your in 192k and your file is 44.1 that’s distortion

    Upsampling doesn’t add distortion

    if your computer needs an update that’s distortion

    doesn’t make sense

    that’s what made me err on the side of sarcasm
