high bit depth is only really a practical necessity for those doing DAW work since it does a lot of layering shit

2018-02-23 00:50:17 UTC  

this is why i just listen to vinyl

2018-02-23 00:50:26 UTC  

ew

2018-02-23 00:50:30 UTC  

vinyl is lofi as fuck

2018-02-23 00:50:58 UTC  

muh "more dynamic range than digital!!!" memes

2018-02-23 00:51:12 UTC  

opticail cartidge though??

2018-02-23 00:51:13 UTC  

ya if you ignore the fucking insane noise floor

2018-02-23 00:51:26 UTC  

i thought that thing was already out

2018-02-23 00:52:02 UTC  

optical cartridges have been a thing for a while

2018-02-23 00:52:07 UTC  

this might be diff tho

2018-02-23 00:52:38 UTC  

ye looks to be some new one

2018-02-23 00:53:19 UTC

2018-02-23 00:54:20 UTC

2018-02-23 00:54:56 UTC  

```Intrigued? You better start saving. The DS W2 cartridge costs $4500 and the preamp is $8500.

if your wonderin bout pricin

2018-02-23 00:55:19 UTC  

the whole "ya but its all analogue" argument is true but imo the mad noise, dynamic range and inconvenience factors completely overshadow any issues digital might have

2018-02-23 00:55:36 UTC  

ye but its cool dude

2018-02-23 00:55:48 UTC  

its just spinning plastic

2018-02-23 00:55:54 UTC  

id rather frame it to look at lol

2018-02-23 00:55:55 UTC  

wheres the fun in listenin to classical

2018-02-23 00:56:02 UTC  

if you don't have to get up and turn it over

2018-02-23 00:56:10 UTC  

It's irrelevant either way, cause it's recorded from a digital source anyway these days

2018-02-23 00:56:31 UTC  

eh there are some purist studios who still give a shit for some reason

2018-02-23 00:56:43 UTC  

but yeah almost all of it will have been converted at least once

2018-02-23 00:57:29 UTC  

vinyl is $$$ as well

2018-02-23 00:57:56 UTC  

i wanna build my own tt

2018-02-23 00:58:01 UTC

2018-02-23 01:00:07 UTC  

eugh this song has some stupid 16k squeal

2018-02-23 01:00:15 UTC  

did they fucking record this next to a crt

2018-02-23 01:05:24 UTC  

maybe they're just deaf lol

2018-02-23 01:05:46 UTC  

probably

2018-02-23 07:32:26 UTC  

There is no point of going beyond 16 bit irl
At 85db listening you only need 75db of range.
Unless the headphones can reproduce the slight noise a falling leaf makes and the chance of your eardrums still picking it up at >18

2018-02-23 09:08:15 UTC  

Yes or no
