Question about CD 'Resolution'


how can you tell what a cd players resolution is I see things like '24 Bit Conversion' and 'Digital Processing 24-bit' and '24/96 Dac' but then you end up finding out that the players real 'Digital Resolution' is only in actuality 20 bits.

Some companies only give the number of Bits used in the DAC, but how can you find out what the actual resolution is?

Who cares?! I know that on the surface, this might seem like an important bit of information, but build and component quality and circuit design are the import factors. Musicality, and sound quality are what we're all looking for. Read the forums, listen to as many units as possible (piano and violin will let you know how good the Sonics of a CD unit really are). Don't get caught up in marketing "hype"...let your ears be the judge! Happy Tunes!
