Forgive me if this hasn't been set up correctly, but I just imported one CD onto iTunes lossless (with error correction ticked). Then streamed it through Airfoil and the DAC on my CDP and iTunes.
Don't forget I'm only one track in, the track in question 'Tiny Dancer' by good old Elton.
Results. Streamed first so I will start with that. Sounded good I have to say, plenty of detail...
Then flicked the old switch on the CDP and put the CD in. All I can say is wow, the CD sounded far fuller and much warmer in every sense. In truth a whole lot more enveloping, a whole lot more musical. Elton's voice and the instruments had so much more depth to them, all in all a lot more natural.
I had to use the missus' laptop and have put it away now, but have asked for a disk drive from Santa so will repeat the trick with a few tunes post 25th.
