Hi and yes you are right. Poor knowledge of science here.
So i understand you never tried. Good for you.
I tried and got insane for the changes in sound.
Optical medium are shit in my opinion.
Just loot all the discussions on cd transport ... insane.
You need a battleship to play them right...
Better to rip once and store them away.
Kind regards,

No actually, the whole battleship approach is totally wrong. All that stuff kills the sound. The capacitors, the transformer, the semiconductor chips, the big old transport, the power cord, the house AC power, the fuse. What you need is something like this, something without all that stuff:

Indeed.
I have 4 cheap chinese portables (Xiron, Marquant) No antiskipping, no opamp for output amplifying obviously, output is 0.7 Volt, more than enough.
The sound is very reminiscent of analogue. It wins from my high end players that i seldom use anymore.I think that the DAC with voltage output and no opamp to ampify further is the secret.
Digital sucks, CD's always have that non musical synthetic sound, all piano's sound like digital piano's, no soul in it. These portables make it all palatable and my conclusion is that expensive CD players, including SACD is a big swindle, the biggest con in recorded music history. Convenient for in the car, obviosly CD's are made for that, alway's compression, before 1995 or so CD's were reasonable.

Totally agree. There is no house power, no big toxic transformers, no wiring or fuses that would most likely be installed backwards, no rattling circuit boards, no power cord! no digital cable! all of those things just distort the signal. Portables rule! Expensive headphones are also a rip off. Is it possible these tiny little portables are more tubelike than tubes? How can that be?
