Kind of what I thought. I thought part of the joy of being a digit head is that you get to become a digital couch potato. Having to get up our of your listening chair and remove a CD from the CDP, put it away, find the next one you want to play, and inserting it in the CDP is so 1980s. Sheesh. I also thought we had something like a second cousin consensus (vs. a brotherly consensus) that CDs actually sound better when they are played back from a hard drive, but I guess not.
I don't agree that the SQ from a file is better than from that from a good disc player and if so IMHO it is negligible. That said the convenience of playing from a server wins out for me. It is much easier and faster for me to find music on my MDMS (Soolos) than to pull discs out of my very organized rack.
