Hi Official Ninja,

You raise an interesting point. Since eventually the digital output from a CD player must be converted to analog either in the CD player itself or, if you are routing the digital output via digital coaxial or optical connectors to an AV receiver, then the analog portions of the circuitry in either the CD player or the AV receiver may introduce differences like the ones you cite. Minor frequency response errors might occur, and those would likely be audible.

Regards,

Alan
