RE: why does my old cd player sound better than my newer cd...

lol, quite heavy they be...im far too stingy to pay the postage! however if your ever near hastings?  come and have a listen.i have beer.... Beer it is very strange the difference in the machines through my dac.....i dont think error correction would make the music so much more emotionally involving? i put my toshiba dvd thru the dac...sounded bad! my marantz 6000ose thru the dac..sounded nice my  flash sony thru the dac..sounded nice..the roksan i guess was the better one? it sounded so digital...but the old mission..is so much better! its much closer to my vinyl..,my friend has a quad cd player im going to take the mission and compare them side by side...thru the dac using the same coax cable..
