The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD


A few days ago, one of my favorite YouTube channels did a video on the CD. This channel (Asianometry) always does an incredible job telling the story of different technologies, technical industries and/or products.

I think most of you will find the 25 minute video to be very interesting.

I’ve gone back to CD’s because, to me, the quality is clearly better than streaming from Tidal the exact CD quality track hardwired etc to the same DAC. I enjoy not having a computer, phone, tablet, etc when I want to listen to music as my whole day is spent in front of a screen. A/B testing on my McIntosh MCT500 vs my computer, both hardwired into the McIntosh DA2 btw.

I have wondered whether errors in the music while being transported over the internet/server/etc just create more issues than a simple CD transport to the DAC.
