The engine of high end cd players is based around super high quality power supplies, often split between the analogue left and right  and digital supplies. High end cd players often have very accurate master oscillators (clocks) which are also isolated from the main power buss. High end cd players often have individual DACS for each channel and mostly use the famed Phillips TDA series renound for Zero oversampling modes. All this and i havent even brought into account the quality of the analogue output stage after the DAC<br><br>After seeing the guts of a playstaion on many occasions, some after collisions with baseball bats i can confirm the playstation has neither of the admirable traits as described above <br><br>so hold onto your wallets, its good, but its just a piece of consumer gear ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[time traveler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 14th 2007 4:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/05/playstation-is-a-6-000-cd-player/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/05/playstation-is-a-6-000-cd-player/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree that the original playstation is not all that great when it comes to true audiophile sound quality.
