So- after several months of being in my system, the little Fiio shows its weaknesses against the heavyweight CDP.
What I originally thought was minute levels of absent detail are actually large gaps. My CDP wins hand over fist, and I'd be disappointed otherwise. I acknowledge the IC's on the CDP are pure silver with pure silver plugs vs pure copper with gold plated copper on the Fiio, but still. It's vastly more rewarding listening to the CD than digital.
Follow Ups:
Well, as I already mentioned, I'm using the $1,800 FiiO M17 DAP, so your comparison might not be applicable to the FiiO component I'm using. On the other hand, it probably doesn't make a lot of difference anyway because I don't listen to CDs anymore. I'm heavily into high-resolution digital such as 24/192 PCM or 352-kHz DXD or DSD256. I've been mostly listening to DSD256 lately. I now own just over 400 albums in DSD256. My FiiO M17 will play all digital formats up through DSD512.
Happy listening!
