Clip 1 was obviously 320kHz sample rate and I could hear that in bed on my laptop's garbage speakers.

I am not saying one can't achieve amazing results but ALL conversions have a loss - PERIOD. The sound at the mic, console, mixing, mastering and production, loss, loss, loss, loss.... This is true in the analog and digital domains.

Vinyl playback has mas many inconsistencies that digital media is not plagued by. Nevertheless, there is no information missing in the stream and extended frequencies surpass that of digital media. It is my preferred playback method.
