Talking about PC vs CD player, I did a test before in between these 2 equipment. The system comprises ATC speakers, Audio Research integrated tube amplifier, Philips old CD player, Exemblache DAC, Tara Labs interconnect cable, Coaxial digital cable and Zu Cables speakers cables. I just made it as simple as possible. After more than 2 hours of listening, including blind listening test, the conclusion is PC sounding less impressive, pick-up more noise than normal CD player. When listen to Tsai Ching CD, no doubts, cd player win. PC sound thinner, less warm and too much noise. From this test conclusion, PC doesn't sounding more detail than cd player, due to pick-up more noise than cd player, a lot of listener will think that it is detail rather than noise.
