Re: DVD vs. LD sound quality

Posted by Audiophilander on March 9, 1999 at 09:23:36:
I've made similar comparisons, and while unscientific my impressions are quite like yours. Utilizing my MSB Link-DAC (the only variable) to convert digital signals from both my Panasonic Prism LX100U and Pioneer DV414 I compared soundtracks from a couple of programs I had in both mediums. The result: the LD player's 2-channel digitally reconverted sound seemed richer with fuller bass, warmer overall. On the other hand, the DVD player's digital sound was shlightly more sculptured or etched and while detail didn't seem lost it wasn't as enjoyable a listening experience.
just my 2 cents.
