I could not hear a difference between Analog and digital...... what gives ?

@hjdca 

It sounds like you’re in a good place. There’s a couple of comments that I’d make.

Firstly, you can never be sure that the mastering is the same when comparing formats. In the case of vinyl, it is always going to be different.

Secondly, the different formats all have their pros and cons. In an idea world, I’d have them all to get the best mastering. 

Beyond that, I think choosing between formats is a matter of personal preference. My choice is vinyl, but that’s only me. You may feel differently. The main thing is that you're happy with what you’re hearing.

Many times the differences are miniscule to nonexistent.  Also, it has been my experience that very often the person who make the biggest noise about differences turns out to be the big phonus balonus.  That is true for all things pursuant to audio and has been so since forever.  You have already been given excellent advice in this thread to which I can only repeat to you; don't worry about it, instead enjoy the music. 

A OP - Michael Fremer did the same comparison:

"As for the DCC, I would never bet against the house of Hoffman/Gray, then operating at Artisan and the DCC is a model of good EQ taste and clarity, plus a fine 180g RTI pressing. Just for the hell of it, I also listened to the DCC gold CD. Give me a break! Martin Barre plays a descant recorder (a small, inexpensive wooden wind instrument in the key of C) on, among other tracks 'Mother Goose.' It's 'flutey' and 'woody' and 'airy' and 'round' on all of the LP editions. You can barely hear it on the CD."

It might be worth playing that passage. If the recorder is unclear on both the CD and LP, then it suggests that hearing damage (ref your comment about shooting) is at issue and that limited hearing bandwidth is homogenising the sound - further exacerbated by the fact that McIntosh does tend to have a common sonic signature as well.

Its funny you mentioned this, I just did a test the other day, I randomly like to do a comparison right after listening to the last song of an LP. I have to say though, my analog rig is worth way more than my digital, and the LP blew it out of the water. Album was : GNR Lies. The Qobuz and Tidal versions couldnt compare at all. In 1-2 years, I will upgrade my digital gear and see if it gets closer, but for now, im happy with my LPs.

I’d stay away from comparing vinyl to digital. There are too many variables and you’re going to end up chasing ghosts. Been there done that.
