Uhm, this is a misconception of CD player.
One thing is to have a 8KiB FIFO, one is to have a
16Bytes FIFO.

Said that, performance of CD players changes from
low to high end.

And here it comes another story.

Once I payed a visit, with a friend of mine, to one
of this guys with super-cables concepts.
He had an high end system, with these oxygen-free,
carbon-diffused, time-warped, whatsover cables.
He, of course, said these cables are needed for the
ultimate audio experience.
So, we listen the music with these cables and with
the normal ones, on his high end system.
Myself, and the friend, could not really feel any
difference.
We decided to try the super-cables with the low end
system that the friend of mine had. Really a cheap CD
player.
Well, the cables made a huge difference, in that setup,
even better than the high end.

bye,
