Computer is a Macbook Pro notebook with 4 gig ram, running the latest version of OS X. I am using iTunes with all iTunes processing (EQ/soundcheck,etc...) turned OFF. File format is apple lossless. In terms of background processes, I wouldn't think that this would be an issue on an OS like OS X, which is known for being stable. I have not compared playing the cd on the drive but I will try that. BTW, this setup is for my headphone rig, which may matter or not, but I thought I'd mention it.
Again, since the cdp is not functional I cannot a/b test. I am fully aware that I could be imagining a difference that is not there, or an incredibly slight one if it is. What I am leading up to is the decision to purchase a new transport, or instead commit to computer-based audio and get a Squeezebox Touch.
