But then there are the digiphiles that i suspect you think are getting
it wrong. forgot about them? I don't know any "vinylphiles' painting
their LPs green. There are didgphiles buying some very expensive gear
like belt drive tubed CD players. Do you think those digphiles are
"getting it right?"

They're not digiphiles, they're audiophools, there's a difference.
Real digiphiles know that none of the above do anything good to the
sound of CDs.

Moroever, as Scott conveniently fails to mention, those audiofools are in
almost every instance trying to get CDs to sound more like their beloved
*vinyl*.
