I know a lot of audiophiles who believe CD playback (and digital playback in general) is hopelessly inadequate in regard to providing playback fidelity worthy of high-end audio......
I once believed that way..... I was about to give up on CDs personally..... Until I experienced a Wadia 7/9 CD playback rig, roughly 30 years ago......
I have been chasing the "Wadia 7/9 sound" for CD playback since that time.... And I think I was fortunate to get close enough to where I could enjoy CDs almost as much as I enjoy vinyl..... (I do think streaming would be a setback to this "chase"...... But I have a similar sentiment toward high-resolution digital audio playback.)
But the endeavor was excruciatingly difficult..... (And also very expensive..... I once did a 14 DAC shootout back in the late 1990s.) It's also a reason I could explain why I believe a lot of different forms of CD and digital audio playback don't sound right..... (I think the sonic artifacts in lossless/FLAC file playback, for example, are quite bizarre.) I've often been accused of having "golden ears," but I guess the quest for good sound can be overly obsessive for some people......
