Big source improvement using CD player

I’m not sure I get it. AES annual meeting?

@geoffkait
an image search on "troll' produced it.

The difference in sound quality between a good CD player and a really expensive CD player is not the mechanism.

I didn’t say it was the only thing sunshine, you have to stop looking for angles to make your self look good, it don’t work here.
Have a look at the electronics and what you get inside with that cheap **** slot load transport, then compare it to what’s inside the ML 37 transport

Like I said can’t see the forest for the trees.

This is what you said "sunshine". You started by dissing something for no reason other than uninformed bias. Who is trying to look good?

Sorry, but that thing just uses a cheap $20 slot load media disk spinner, like this

Try going back to a real CD transport, with some cred.

This is not remotely how error correction works. There are many errors correction levels and it is most certainly not a "guess". The only time data is interpolated is after all the error correction fails which is very rare if the disk does not have significant scratches.

With a well aligned transport, which most are even inexpensive, and well aligned writer, BER for a good quality CDR media can be lower than a manufactured disk.

No wonder the burnt cd’s always sound brighter to many, there’s many more errors being fixed, and that’s just a 50% chance to get a 1 or a 0 correct, because an error is replaced by what was read before, and that’s a 50% chance to get it right. This is why many CD players won’t even play burnt cd’s as they can’t even read the TOC (table of contents)
