I recently listened to one of the new Sheffield CDs. This was one of their
"Direct-to-Disk" CDs. While the sound was nothing special (for a CD, that
is :-), it did set me to thinking.

The DtoD system trades noise from the copying process for flexibility in
the mix (Do DtoD systems have a mix?). Since the extra noise from a digital
copy is negligible (or non-existent), this would seem to be a bad trade.
However, I'm not in the audio recording business, so I can't be sure - and
may be totally lost.

Someone care to shed some light on the subject - say by explaining exactly
what happens for DtoD recordings, both digital and analog? How about some
comments?
