For my 14th birthday, I got a CDDA player by Pioneer, fresh 1991 model>
at the time, with a 20 bit DAC. I thought it was amazing - until I
replaced it with a DVD-Audio/SACD player in 2004. And before long, I
got a DVD-Audio grade sound card for my computer, too. Primitive DAC
chips were *trash*, and *that* is where the myth of vinyl sounding
better came from.
The early Japanese DAC's were trash, but the Phillips DAC's were
always good.
The bigger problem was bad mastering. Crack-smoking
incompetents didn't know that the *fsck* they were doing, initially.
I would swear that some early CD's were made with the RIAA
equalization for LP's applied, reducing the bass to nothingness and
making the highs shill to the point of unlistenable.

I mean, if you're listening to a power trio, like Rush, and you can't
hardly hear the bass, something went *very* wrong. How the artists
allowed their music to be released, in such conditions, is something
of a mystery, to me.
