Is there a way to improve the sound?


I recently spent a lot of money on a Naim NDS and server.  I rip CDs and listen to music stored on a separate hard drive.  The sound seems inferior as compared to my Bryston CD player.  Do I need to add something?

You should avoid iTunes for ripping, use free XLD app on mac or someone else can suggest for windows. Always rip losslessly to AIFF or FLAC.
Use a tagging programs like MP3tag on windows or Yate on Mac to makes sure your discs have all the metatags(e.g. artist/album/title/artwork) you need.
Read the archives, this stuff has been explained SO MANY times. Youtube has video examples of people doing it all. Cheers,
