a CD player consists of two base components, both of which will always affect sound quality

there's a lot more going on, over-sampling, over-clocking, anti-jitter, OEM proprietary tricks, multiple dacs, multiple lasers (one for cd, another for sacd) possible conversion from DSD to PCM,

it's a salad, many ingredients, I had to work hard to find a salad I loved.
