RE: your assumption is erroneous: born out by experience

"In the case of the VRDS-NEO, - more information just makes it to the DAC"

This is complete and utter BS. There is no "information" on a CD other than the 1's and 0's that were placed there during the mastering and production process. If you are lucky, the best you can hope for is to get these back correctly and then turn them back into sound without any further degradation. The problem with inferior transports isn't the lack of information, it is the extra noise that makes it through an inferior playback chain and masks such information as was on the original disk. (Which, by the way, in case of Redbook, is already significantly less than what would be on a good quality analog master tape.)

In some cases (more than you might like to admit) all of the "information" that got stamped or burned on to the disk that expensive nonsensical NRDS-NEO "read" have already passed through a lowly Plexor drive. Not the situation at all with an LP on a Goldman turntable or a reel to reel tape on a Studer deck unless it was a bogus digitally mastered "analog" recording.
