Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I've often said that about digital playback

It may come down to the output stage of the player even over the recording.

And not the transport nor the DAC proper. I think you'll find a vastly wider availability of DACs with incredibly good analog output stages of both tube and SS, single ended and balanced outputs than CDPs on the market across all price ranges.

I have heard NOS against a lot of computer audio hi res recordings through quite pricey players.

You do understand that "non over sampling" is a function of the DAC, not the recording nor the transport, right? High resolution doesn't require over sampling!

I understand why people keep their CDs.

I keep mine for legal reasons even though I never use them once ripped. Indeed it took me the course of a couple weeks to rip my collection. There is most certainly a time investment required to enjoy what many find to be considerable advantages over spinning one disk at a time. I did the same with my video collection as well. Instant access of any movie via Roku.
