“Top-notch digital“ is a misnomer since even the most expensive digital players produce serious audible errors. The three most serious errors are external vibration, vibration and flutter of the disc itself whilst spinning and our old friend scattered background laser light. Now, I know a lot of you are probably thinking, “but I thought all modern CD players solved those problems a long time ago, doesn’t reclocking and buffering eliminate those problems?” Better think again, buddy boy. And yes, I know what you’re thinking, “but my system sounds fabulous!”
CD? what’s a CD?
spinning disc? what’s that have to do with digital audio?
that’s so "5 years ago". now it’s PCIe drives. agree on the effect of resonance on circuits though. that is major.
