Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp


the title says it all. if i rip my collection onto a sever will it increase SQ? dumb question i am sure but here i am. if the digital system is above average will it make the sound better?

+1 with Ivan.
My experience has been that moving CDs to hard drive results in a slight decrease in sq.  Perhaps Ivan has identified the reason.  Streaming at “CD quality “ takes sq down another two notches.
cD replay is currently at a really high level.  I am having great fun pulling old CDs off the shelf and continuously being pleasantly surprised at how great they sound
