Should be required viewing in the Audiophile clubs.

It's unfortunate that many Audiophiles are science deniers. However, to be fair, the early CD players did sound bad because the early player designers were warmed over analog designers who didn't yet understand much of the digital science. It didn't help much if a digital person designed a player because they had no appreciation about the finer analog details, such as low level noise. If you looked at things on a scope, there was lots of trash. If you looked at a signal over 10K it was barely recognizable in the trash. I was very annoyed that the reviewers never mentioned this. And, due to the low level noise and general coarseness of the early consumer grade DAC's, the last couple low level bits did not mean much. Left-right amplitude tracking was horrid at low levels if the players used dual DAC's. And, no one wanted to use dithering or preemphasis.
