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

Re: What do cd tweaks imply about what better-designed cd would look like?

But the thing is, even with those disks (or, actually, the one I've tried) the tweaks work, improving the sound in the same way they do with regular disks. I understand (maybe) that jitter reduction is important, but I ask myself how comes it that the tweaks improve the discs? What would it take so that a cd no longer was affected by any of them? Right now, lousy disks sound better, great disks sound better. Should the disks be made of different material? Should the layers be different thicknesses? Should there be no 'protective' layer (for best sound)? Should the playing side of the disk be ....I don't know, not as shiney? I don't know the answers to these questions, I don't know what else might work. It just seems to me that it would be interesting to explore going that way, towards the physical disk. I haven't read anything along those lines.
