Most CD players have poor to almost nonexistent buffering, which leads to all sorts of problems including jitter distortion. You have to pay a ton of money to get extreme quality from a CD player. That same type of quality can be done with a PC + external DAC for much less cash."
i was using the d/a from the tg4 and then also the one in the sqeezebox. they both sound real good, just the cd player had a little more of a life to the way it sounds. crisper comes to mind. the d/a's although correct, had a slightly drier sound. kinda like the way the interconnect cables that i had been listening to, the ruby's have a more shizzle to it, while the other cables had various qualties in the way they sounded. the ruby's had a more transparent quality to them as well. i may have to try some of those mit's one day.
