Quick question...
The previous post defies logic to me. I would appreciate some enlightenment, if possible.
If cd "sound" is really just bits comprised of 1's and 0's, then how would a cd player that is just reading the bit stream sound any different? What is it doing to the 1's and 0's that the other cd player isn't doing?
In other words, is it reading MORE 1's and )'s and getting a more complete picture of what is contained on the cd? If not, how does it sound better?
My suspicion is that the pyscho-acoustic factor is in play (if I paid more, it must sound better), or the NAD does something to the signal (processing, etc.) to make it sound different (maybe by boosting certain frequencies which make the music sound richer?)
Any comments would be appreciated.
On a side note - I am interested in where this thread is going, since I'll be buying a new cd player, and would like to be convinced as to why I should NOT buy an el cheapo cd player (aside from build quality concerns)
