It's not an assumption. You just said in another post that you heard gross
differnces in CD players, something that AFAIK is not possible, at least in
any CD player I've ever seen reviewed. IOW you heard differnces that did
not exist.


Some CD players are engineered to sound different, e.g. players with
tube output stages.
Compared with generic players, differences *can* be significant.

Also, the various methods of decoding D to A may lead to at least
measurable differences.
