I have been reading this forum, and have noticed a trend that straight off a CD player sounds better than downloaded into a hardrive or streaming.
The thing is bits are bits.
So what's the deal? Its it that the hard storage has to go through more networks to deliver the sound? hence whilst bit for bit perfect it may be, but there is more processing?
I get the purported issue with streaming - ie buffering/compression etc etc etc
I am a total luddite, and would not mind help on this. I say this as I am thinking about using a computer as a music storage/server
