Here's what I know: the $30 CD Drive in my computer can read most CDs (except those that are heavily scratched) PERFECTLY (tested via checksums during the ripping process) at speeds up to 52x normal playback speed. If you don't think your audio-quality CD drive can read CDs at 1x playback speed, or some ridiculous liquid you apply to the surface of the CD will somehow make these perfectly read bits sound better, I've got some swamp land in Florida you should definitely think about investing in. :)
It is all about the DAC.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Might be some solid truth to this opinion.
= Meaninga good cd player that boasts a good DAC inside, might still be a serious contender to the newest DAC craze bandwagon everyone is jumping on.
I'm old school,= a combo ina high quality cd player suits me just fine.
I ck out the DAC in the cd player, if pics show high quality, , then why go for separates?
