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

Depends as everyone says on streamer etc. I like others use XLD with massive correction to rip and on my streamer it sounds a world apart better ..... but SACD on my Arcam CDS50 was pretty special. 

Streamer lets you get into Hi res files like 24 bit downloads which again step up. I also make a 24 bit recording (just side a / side b) of every new record I get as 24bit was files and I can then stream this throughout flat rather than just in main music Lounge.

BUT - so many cd are great quality
and if happy spend it on music.

Was going to add Arcam CDS50 is both SACD/cd and streamer and a bloody bargain for sound quality. 
90% as good as my Linn Klimax Digital streamer and cheap cheap 

Playing CDs ripped to FLAC through my Zenith MKII into a Mytek Liberty DAC into a NAD M12 sounds better to my ears than my McIntosh MCD7008 directly to the M12.

Before I purchased the Liberty, I did compare the MCD7008 and Zenith into the M12.  The Zenith SQ is better and with the Liberty, its even better.

@kijanki @audioengr  You guys have made some great posts in this thread that clearly explain many of the obstacles between mediocre and excellent sounding digital playback.
I suggest to those who haven't, go compare the sound of one box solutions and typical mac/pc setups to those utilizing the suggestions here. There's plenty of obvious improvement at a not needlessly expensive cost. Those saying "bits is bits", "my abcbox sounds great and won't be beat", etc. are speaking with self-affirming ignorance.  
Start with XLD or dbpoweramp clean rips and you are on your way...Cheers,

Just to add to this thread I have a Cocktail Audio X10 connected to Monitor Audio BX1 speakers.  This is a small system set up in my kitchen.  Among a lot of other options The Cocktail Audio X10 can rip Cds in various formats (I just stick to WAV), has 2TB hard drive and is an amp (I think 30watt output into 8ohms).  I don't know if the ripped Cds will sound better than from a Cd but the enourmous advantage is I can listen to all genres in a flick of the remote control.  As to sound I find it very competent taking into consideration its only a small system.  I listen to a wide genres of music I can be sometimes fussy as to sound reproduction and this system seems to 'serve' music rather than play out its capabilities.  The play list shown on the Cocktail is comprehensive and neat once one gets use to it.  In future I want to upgrade but the Cocktail Audio will be included for its play list, Cd ripping and internet radio (with 20,000 stations) joined to a superior DAC, Amp & Speakers.  I grew up on Vinyls, Reel to Reel and Cds.  But now I just do not have the patience to physically change a record for the turntable, or to stand up to go to the Cd open it and change Cd's.  If the sound quality difference between ripped Cd's and Cd was like night and day I would stick to playing and chaging Cds! But it is not I think unless you are prepared to spend big money for something like Estoric Cds.
