To explain slightly, a CD and decent CD player will give an exact
rendition of the material recorded on that CD. Philips and Sony made sure
the parameters were up to this when launching the first domestic system
capable of giving 'studio' quality. But it can't make up for a poor
quality master tape or whatever - it just reproduces that warts and all.


The AES paper that was recently referenced seems to indicate that given
the same input, CD masters can sound different one from the other.


Only if one is seriously flawed. That paper provided no attempt at
explanation
and ultimately implied they were able to fix the problem in production of
the
masters. A simple bit check of the results should have voided the defective
master. Remember... this wasn't digitizing anything... it was (in
simplistic
terms) just a digital transfer. Obviously data was lost in the process.

Am I mistaken, or do you have an ARCAM?
