Digital because it sounds identical to the source. If I wanted a analog feel with a sample I wouldn't sample off a CD. I would run it through the signal chain that I run my vinyl sounds through.

"original feel" - :lol:
dude, all the analogue output of a CD-R drive is gonna add to your sample is jitter, mains hum and digital chirrups from internal EMC interference.
But if you like that, go right ahead.

Use your ears, not bullshit ideas about "original feel" :smoker:
