That's your opinion Phil. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a "know-nothing ****wit". CD player manufacturers have done a good job implementing necessary filtering schemes to mask the inherent problem of rounding off too few bits to mimic a good analogue waveform.

At this point in my life, I've gotten used to listening to MP3 files - so along with the diminished response of my hearing over the years, I still use and enjoy my CD player. If Philips/Sony had not sacrificed playing time for fidelity back then, it wouldn't matter to me now. But musical fidelity of the CD standard was not paramount to them; compactness and playing time were numbers one and two.



Kindly go and **** yourslef.


Not possible, but thank you for asking kindly.


You're first class, raving lunatic.



Raving? Note to myself to turn off my webcam....
