Why does bit rot sound familiar and why does it make me think that there might be some people who would SWEAR that SLC SSDs sound better than MLC over time?
I listen to 78s. It's a mystery how they sounded originally because the only ones we can find have bit-rotted for ~100 years, and that's longer than a fair side-by-side comparison to current gear. One thing we know for sure though is that they haven't been messed up by DSD masters.
@Lyander --- SSDs and stuff... Music sounds just as good played from a slow CD drive as it does form an audiophool SSD. This is one reason why I think that high-spec PCs for audio are stupid.
@Woland --- as I have commented, I have from-vinyl rips that, noise and all, I would rather listen to than newer, clean, digital versions. But I don't think it is the technology that screws up the music, but what the mastering guys do with their knobs.
