Also, I did once listen to an NPR segment about vinyl, and how encoding on vinyl is inherently superior because digital reproduction of an analog wavelength by its very nature removes information.
That argument is BS, by the way.
Which argument? That analog-to-analog is better; or that FLAC would make for a reasonable lossless copy?
The former.
I didn’t claim to be an expert. I just said I heard a segment on the subject, and they claimed that was why vinyl is actually better than CD. That article you linked is a bit tl;dr for me in refuting it.
you probably misunderstood the segment because it was a digital broadcast.
