Not everyone will be able to hear it, or pick it 10 times out of 10, but you can get pretty close if you know what to listen for...

Michael Stavrou (The Police, Paul McCartney, Cat Stevens, John Williams) did some tests too......and they were able to pick analogue Vs digital everytime.

So what were they listening for???

The sound of the fingers leaving the strings (on the left hand) after playing a note on guitar

That kind of intimate detail is not picked up in the digital domain....and this intamacy, shines through using analogue tape, even with all that hiss down there....
