explain your reasoning...

WRONG  WRONG  WRONG... Why is there error
correction in the digital system???  It's because errors
are more common than one would like to believe.

First off what studios? The esoteric ones or the main
stream studios? Second what parts are changing from digital
back to analog? Finally to an analog purist what advantage
would be held from changing back part of the signal chain
from digital to analog? The conversion has already been
made and this is by far the most controversial part. Once
the ones and zeros are made the issue is over!

Many studios... all you need to do is read the pro
publications.
Issue over???  I think not when zeros become ones and ones
become zeros along with data jitter etc.

Digital audio is nothing more than a digital approximation of
a
very complex analog event.  Analog is a color three
dimensional
picture of sound while digital is a connect-the-dots attempt
at
achieving the same result... and they are far from the same.

Maybe in a hundred years, if idiots have not yet destroyed the
world, "digital" can get there.
