and so far that to be my experience, so I am sticking with it for now. :)
I am hoping my friend would show up one day with his PC/DAC as he claims his new set up is the best digital he ever heard even on redbook. So hoping I get to compare it with my CD player in my system.
You're right tho, probably my CD player has no leg to stand on against *properly done* high res. files but a few high res. files purchased from HD Tracks have been poor and those even at 24/96 or some times 24/192, lowly 16/44 CDs played on my CD player sounded miles better.
