Playing the devil's advocate:
If it were just as simple as 1s and 0s then there would be no differences between various transports or between digital cables. The difference is that besides the exact 1s and 0s the timing of them (i.e. jitter) also makes a difference.
Now as to how (shallow) freezing of CDs makes any difference I have no idea. I believe some of my friends that cryo treating CDs makes an audible difference, but once again I wouldn't hazard a guess as to the mechanism.
Let's just say I'm skeptical of home freezing of CDs.

- And it's not "1's & 0's" that are recorded; they're the result of a complicated calculation made on-the-fly. nt - clarkjohnsen 13:16:50 08/13/07 (7)
- They are still 1s and 0s, just not the ones you expect :) [nt] - Ted Smith 16:47:01 08/13/07 (6)
- You just mean, they don't make sense as "music". nt - clarkjohnsen 08:34:55 08/14/07 (5)
- Nope, that's not what I mean. [nt] - Ted Smith 09:55:10 08/14/07 (4)
- So... you're referring to the fact that the CD is an analog disc? Or is it... just words? nt - clarkjohnsen 10:01:41 08/14/07 (3)
