yeah. for example, i've got jarre's "oxygen" (analog master) and "equinox" (digital master on vinyl... i didn't notice at first because the album is in french); "oxygen" has a smoother, warmer quality compared to "equinox", which seems a bit edgier. i also have some digitally mastered classical on vinyl that really showcases that "aluminum violin" sound.
understand that i like digital as much as analog. i don't think it is evil and i am a huge fan of the new hirez formats. but i still don't understand the advantages of a digital master on vinyl.
