Big source improvement using CD player

I have a Cambridge CXUHD

Not quite as good as the CXC for spinning CD's.
As the CXC has a dedicated linear power supply, and dedicated CD drive, with it's "legendary" ‘S3’ servo design. (whatever that is).

Where the CXUHD uses a SMP (switch mode) power supply and  universal DVD/CD drive, and no S3

I still use a DV-50S for playing CD’s, SACD’s and Audio DVD’s on my main system and think it sounds great even after all these years. However, I haven’t used it as a video source since blu-rays came along.
That said, I just tried an old DVD-R and it played fine. The DV-50 was billed as a "universal" player back in the day and although I seem to recall it getting cranky with some -RW discs, this was rare and everything else seemed to work with no problem. How was the DVD-R you attempted to play created?

Question: sometimes I stream YouTube music through my Oppo105 using the USB interface. Why does that sound so much more full than streaming Tidal lossless?
