CD Player

[Nutul]

Mmm

Not yet.  In the same stack is already a normal (rather old) CD player, I was curious if my ears could hear the difference between that one and a modern DAC with resampling. If I can't use that, I will stick with the player.

Resampling a CD has no other benefit than that of easing the work of the DAT (if it is a resampling one, which almost all are, leaving the R2Rs out of the equation, of course).

A fair comparison, anyway, should be between an old and a new CD player, at the same sample-rate... I mean, without cheating (although in the end, as I said, the DAC will do the up-sampling anyway). ;-)
