but they don't.
That being said, I almost never use either CD or SACD/CD players anymore.
Sony HAP Z1 is my favorite Digital Player, including some DACs.
CD rips sound great to me.
And NO skipping!
Follow Ups:
Will the Sony HAP Z1 play 5.6-MHz DSD from a USB drive plugged into its USB port. Will it also play 5.6-MHz DSD when loaded into its internal 1-TB memory. I'm looking for a digital player with that capability. Currently, I'm using my TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder as a digital player for my 5.6-MHz DSD transfers of vinyl.
Thanks,
John Elison
I'm talking about a single glitch on an entire CD, in most cases.....
A nothing-burger, in my book.
A single glitch on 1 out of 10 CDs is still a pretty high 'glitch rate' IMHO.Out of thousands of albums streamed from my computer, I can't recall the last time I've had a 'glitch' on a track.
But a similar comparison can be made for vinyl records. I'm very hesitant to buy new records because of poor quality. In my experience it's really a crap shoot with higher than 1 out 10 being defective in some way.

"Out of thousands of albums streamed from my computer, I can't recall the last time I've had a 'glitch' on a track."
I'd be shocked if you ever get one..... Music played off a computer hard drive should never "skip".... It's far more robust than any CD player, reading data off a hard drive or SSD. By several orders of magnitude. (If computer data off the hard drive had a read-error rate of a CD player, it would rarely make it past boot-up.)
But I personally prefer the sound of a good dedicated CD player over any computer-based audio. And by a wide margin. To where the rare skipping is a non-issue with me.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. 10% is well beyond the point of indicating something needs fixed or replaced.
On the other hand, it is really tough these days to buy new vinyl records that don't have a flaw of some sort in it. Well over 10% are unacceptable in my experience.
I've only had a few issues buying new vinyl,(warps in my case) but you're probably buying new vinyl in greater volume than me. FWIW, buying used vinyl on Discogs has been a fairly positive experience. Also buying used vinyl on my yearly trip to Chicago to visit my son has been positive as well. Both shops I visit( Dusty Groove, Reckless Records) give pretty accurate condition ratings on their used vinyl.
