Another CD-Player vs. PC question:

No skipping at all with my Ayre C-5xeMP (which does play DVD-A and audio tracks from video DVDs). And it's my sole source, so obviously I don't find typical CD playback to be bland or boring!

I am perplexed as to why all these computer audio threads are on digital instead of the forum site supplied by audiogon for computer audio?

Because CD-player is also digital.

Mapman, just curious, have you had an audiogram test recently?

I own 1000's of CD's and have owned over a dozen players. Truthfully, I've rarely experienced problems with skipping. Every time I have it was the disc, not the player, that was the problem.
