I'm actually surprised...noone balked at the fact that I was just listening to the CD through a run-of-the-mill toshiba DVD player...instead of a high end Denon 2900 or something similar.
Few schools of thought (and all are represented here) on CD-P quality:
-some suggest that a high-end player will give you better sound through both the digital out and analog outs - the rationale you'll have to ask them about - I'm not in this camp
-most here agree that once you take the DAC (digital to analog converter) out of the mix by hooking the CD-P up through the digital outs, a player is a player is a player, but that DACs affect the sound quality of the analog outs
-yet others believe anything that will spin and read a CD will sound the same across the board
