Fortunately ADD recordings are often as good as or better than DDD. The choice and placement of microphones, and the judgement of a conductor in balancing the orchestra, make more difference than whether the master was on a digital or analog medium. A recent digital recording made on professional quality equipment may be very good, but other digital recordings are made on substandard equipment (such as cheap computer sound cards) or early 16-bit equipment, and can have unpleasant distortions.
