Have you ever wondered what you heard when listening to vinyl through Devialet?
Let's take a look at the path, the audio signal has to pass from it's source:
1. The analog signal (voices, instruments) is recorded and mastered in digital studios (converted into digital files) - currently, the traditional analog recording does not exist any more.
2. In course of LP processing, the digital signal is converted into analog path (grooves on the LP),
3. Then, you put the LP on your turntable - the cartrige sends the analog signal stright to phono section in your Devi, when it is ... digitalised once again.
4. Then, the digital stream is amplified and ... converted into analog signal before sending to your speakers.
... and just after FOUR (!!!) A-D-A-D-A conversions you can enjoy the "analog" sound.
Of course you can buy LP recorded in '70, '80, '90 (on analog equipment) but even then you have 2 conversion stages, anyway.
Does it still make sense?
I look forward to your comments and opinions.
