For your own listening pleasure, digital music (CDs) or analogue (vinyl)?

[/ QUOTE ]
If I'm going to put on a record for pleasure, it will be a vinyl record, unless I'm at work. Understand though that I listen to original masters all day every day, and so I'm less likely than most people to want to throw on an album when I knock-off at midnight or whatever.

Any thoughts on the new higher sample rate/bitrate SACD or DVDA releases?

[/ QUOTE ]
Doesn't matter, since both formats are now dead, but I think a greater bit depth (24 bits is plenty) grants a bigger quality improvement than increasing the sample rate. The downloadable version of the new album from my band (Shellac of North America) is available in compressed formats, but also 16-bit or 24-bit 44.1kHz versions. We did it as an experiment to see if anybody appreciates having it available.

I thought the Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones remasters sound great on regular systems. Maybe SACD would be better.

No, I'm pretty sure they're still going to have Dylan and the Stones on them.
