addressing the variability of digital masters that you brought up,
because one would assume that a certain CD player wouldn't be of much
use in that situation anyway, Ring DAC or not.

I don't know... ability to read deformed pits by the laser.... error
correction algorithms... interpolation.... are these things consistent
across CD players?

Pretty much, given that 99% of available players (aside from the
Chinese copies, of course!) use the same Sony or Philips transport
mech and associated electronics package.
