There is no technical justification for the reliable perception of that kind
of audible difference given that the media is in reasonably good condition
and the players are operating properly. Good accurate digital reproduction
all sounds the same, subject only to the possible relevance of inherent
differences in data formats such as MP3 versus .wav, etc. The CD audio disc
format is data-wise the same as 44/16 stereo digital data files on a hard
drive. Aside from the possibility of the usually very few unrecovered errors
on the CD audio disc, they are the same.


I have to agree with your argument, but you did leave an out. *I don't
know if the players are operating properly. *I used a DVD player to play
CDs, which ought to be better than a run-of-the-mill CD player but
possibly not as good as multi-thousand dollar players. *I just noticed I
could much more clearly hear the space in which the performance was
taking place from the HD source then I could from a CD played on a DVD
player. *Maybe my DVD player wasn't up to snuff.
