Crazy DACs

Got a question. Why would some CDs sound good on one player/DAC and other CDs sound good on another player/DAC, in mutually exclusive fashion?

Just got a new digital cable for my DAC and what a difference does it make! The DAC and cable are really not high-end, but entry level.

So, comparing to my older SONY XA7-ES, I have listened to maybe ten CDs, and I am enjoying most of them on the external DAC, but then I hit a CD or two that I must play on the SONY player because it sounds better that way. These CDs are all 1995-2015.

So, what am I hearing? Is it the phase or is it the filter or is it the conversion technology?
