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

Re: It's a Black Art....

If you are hearing differences between CDs that can be ripped to files that contain exactly the same data, there is a problem with your CD player (e.g. it is having trouble reading some CDs in real-time more than others, and giving you erroneous data to the internal/external DAC as a result). The "black art" is in the extraction of data off of the CD in real time (which is why using CD players for playback is a compromise...they often cannot read the data from the CD in real time without errors...software rippers can slow down to a rate much slower than that needed for real time playback to overcome this problem).
