100 audio forum posters can't be wrong. You did it, you convinced me. You've convinced me that expensive CD-Ps relay something other than the original bitstream to the receiver. I am now convinced that expensive consumer CD-Ps fail miserably at their intended job - to read a CD and pass the information to a receiver verbatim, to allow the various settings on a receiver to shape the sound (or not shape the sound in the case of "direct" settings).
Now they need to market these flawed players based on different flavours - a boost to the 40-100Hz (open E to open G string) range for bassists, a constant wah-wah effect for guitarists, a digital cowbell added to every song for drum fanatics.
