Back when Genesis made the Digital Time Lens, they used to make CDR copies through the time lens, and use the CDRs to demo their speakers. They explained that the recorded disks sounded better than the source CDs because the Digital Time Lens removed a lot of jitter from the source disk before burning the CDR.

i don't see how a burned CD could sound better than the original...
These days we often burn CDRs on a computer, which--like the Digital Time Lens--buffers the data stream and burns the CDR with a rather short signal path. Also, it's my understanding that burning a CDR over a USB link could perform the same function because it is bi-directional and solidly locks in the word clock.
