I forget whether i saw this as a link on here but this was an interesting, if technical watch re that "stair-step" digital vs analogue thing that gets bandied around. The really interesting bit is roughly comparing bit depth to analogue equivalents so that a cassette would be 6-9 bits rough equivalent (noise floor and dynamic range) and good open reel tape circa 13 bits.

What's really interesting about this trend of distributing music on 3.5" floppy disks is that floppy disks are, and always have been, a 100% digital medium. They're not measured in minutes of play time, but rather in data capacity (typically 1.44MB per floppy disk).
Musicians who distribute their tracks on floppy disks have to perform all kinds of complicated digital manipulations to a track before it can fit into such a small space, and just as vinyl records and cassette tapes add their own unique character to the music recorded on them, these digital audio manipulation techniques also significantly impact the tonal and timbral characteristics of the finished product.

Any Audio Cultures researchers interested in putting a panel together for @AoIR ?

Staff is always nattering on about #lossless and showing off the Dismal Manor Schiit audio collection. 4 boxes in the lounge and 2 more in the study.
But Jason and Mike got that down to 1 box, Asgard with an add-in DAC card. Add a good pair of headphones and you are there.
Add #AppleMusic on your laptop (MacBook or Windows Surface) and USB and you’re up and running. Win10 or Win11, please. Older Windows didn’t know USB Audio 2.
