Big source improvement using CD player

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)

Go away, like I said can't see the forest through the trees. 

For those interested in what happens when a byte can't be read.

  If a scratch has created read errors, you’re not completely hosed., "there is a pretty good chance that an uncorrected byte still has a good byte on either side". If that’s the case, then your CD player will take an average for those two values "and make an "educated guess" about what the missing value should be in between".
If the number of missing bytes gets to be too large, the system will suppress the error by muting the sound for a fraction of a second, which is hopefully too short a period of time to be detected.
At a certain point, of course, you’ll start to hear the difference. Like when the CD starts to repeat.

Streamed for 2-3 weeks.  
Prefer cd and LP. 
  Vinyl to me is the best sound!
 The mild crackles, ticks, pops are pure magic to me!

 Which is why I record my LP’s to cd, and clean up a bit, but still love the vinyl tone.

 Vinyl is the only music I play which my dogs (rip) never left the room, no matter the music, metal, blues, etc, they never left my side.
laid on the couch with me, at my feet, etc!

 I would put on a cd, and within 5 minutes, they would get up, and lay in the kitchen or upstairs.

 Strange, goes to show the mellow tone and great sound of vinyl!
