I wonder how much of the "it sounds better" argument is just a fashionable make-believe, like the gold-plated HDMI cables that, for the most part, don't really make a difference but somehow people believed it does.
Or like people who think that brown-shell eggs are better quality than white-shell eggs.
CD audio quality is the best…specially with wired headphones
