However, CD can be much better than most vinylphiles think

Posted by John Marks on September 1, 2015 at 09:54:30:
You need a nice (literally) clean CD, played on a Read Until Right transport with vanishingly low jitter, such as Parasound's CD-1, a S/PDIF cable that does not mess things up, and a superb DAC with sophisticated filters, such as Bricasti's M1.

Under such conditions, CDs can be astonishingly good, especially CDs that were themselves remasterings of golden-era master tapes.

Yes, an unedited raw pure DSD file will sound better--but in almost every case, there will be a better performance of that particular piece of music.
