Popular music tracks on 30 year old CDs or vinyl often sound better off the physical medium than if they are streamed, even using one of today's high resolution providers. We consider determing factors in such hidden decline, from track versions over ripping and quality control, to the codecs used for delivery.

Besides from providing technical evidence and listening examples, we discuss content uncertainties from a mastering and a music lover’s perspective, including the excellent music listening experience with its variabilities 300 years ago, compared to now.
