Strange, and maybe unanswerable question here...
What part of the CD player process dictates how well the CD player will read a CD?
The reason I ask... one particular (old) CD I have, the last track was unplayable (skipping, reading random parts of the track... total silence as was unable to track etc....) on my D121, D231, D345, D777, E905 and EJ1000 discmen, and also my Pioneer PD202 and Marantz CD63se CD players...
Just listening to this particular CD on my Aura... and, played as sweetly as anything, no skips, no pops... nothing, apart from the tune
Is there a way to tell, in mechanism, dac, or whatever ~ whether a particular cd player will read 'faulty' discs ~ or have I just struck real lucky with this player?
thanks
