for the rest of us, you didn't write the book that matters. You have been wrong on all counts technically but you are certainly free to voice those opinions and more importantly to listen to whatever it is that you enjoy.

I personally like Lp playback and have collected lp's for thirty years. I know a few things about analog sound as well. I went through all of the early digital stuff, from the very first Magnavox players to many successive generations of multi-bit units, single bit units, every type of oversampling scheme, bitstream, single disc players, multi-disc players, separate DAC & transports, then used the reclocking (the actual DIP included) devices between them, various digital cable types, you name it and I have tried it. Still, with all of that listening experience milage behind me, I suggest a new CD player as the best value for anyone considering a nice sounding, red book digital player. Times have changed and so have the players. For compressed digital, you can use about anything but for a red book CD, nothing bests a great CD player. Jitter is vanishingly low in the better hi-fi players today and certainly inaudible.

I actually agree with you that error correction circuitry of old has been problematic and that various types of solutions have been more or less helpfull. I don't agree however that the latest generation of players have not finally addressed the issue successfully. Listen to a few of the very latest high end players and you will find something that takes a huge stack of cash to better with analog playback these days. That comes from a record collector!
