Well, in a computer, much more happens to a Wav or Aiff file as it gets to the dac. There is a lot of processing, and I think most software player designers can't resist tweaking the sonic result to taste a bit. There has never been a sonic purist approach to design in these software players as far as I can tell.As far as "It's maddening. Can anyone tell me why a CD->AIFF->AL->AIFF sounds different than CD->AIFF?"
That would be a quandry if both Aiffs compare equally bit by bit.
One test you might want to do, is compare two identical Aiffs (one named differently). While this might seem a bit odd, it might help you discover an aberation in your approach.
Of course, the ultra-paranoid might suspect some new sophisticated type of watermarking that comparators can't pick up.
