Nowadays, they mostly don't. Most modern R&D in amps and CD players is
biased towards cost reduction. That's why my 'Chinky cheapy' Pioneer
DV-575A will play any kind of silver disc while providing sound
quality identical to that of a SOTA 'audiophile brand' CD player. It
also plays movies!

If you've really been there and done that, you'll know that they
really do work. Of course, if you were *expecting* that they'd prove
how 'high-end' gear sounds better, then I'm not surprised that you're
disappointed..............
