Ted - you are right, of course. But, I was not even referring to DAC differences, which can be substantial. So, even on a decent Oppo, USB playback of a rip from a thumb or hard drive sounds slightly better in our humble opinion than does playing the same SACD disk. DACs and everything else in the playback chain are identical. Other players might exhibit even less of this phenomenon, small though it might be in the first place via Oppo.
But, again, I have every reason to believe that the bits are identical, as they would also be for downloads of the same recording. This points to the electro-mechanical player mechanism for the plastic disk introducing subtle timing errors, aka jitter, in pulling those bits off of the disk, thereby affecting the d to a. However, it is insignificant enough not to lose any sleep over.
