You're hearing the original files- it sounds better- Just because something
is digital doesn't mean all of it's content is intact. There are several
different file formats- and you can argue this untill your blue in the face,
so go ahead.
And, not all sound systems in clubs are shitty.

Huh ? You find that a laptop going through a shitty and usually distorted
sound system (which is the case the majority of the time) sounds more
"pure" then a mastered DAT or aiff/wav files directly transfered to a CD
and played over a decent stereo system ?
And I'm curious about what an aiff/wav file loses when it's "processed,
re-recorded, or dubbed" since at least 2 of those things will no doubt be
done digitally ?
What the hell does "pure" mean anyway when you're dealing with digitally
manipulated sound ?
