1) I play a CD on an 'excellent' CD transport. I take the digital output from this (spdif or AES) and connect it to a PC interface (a Lynx or RME card). I capture the digital output on the PC as a .wav file using Wavelab or something similar.
2) I rip the CD to a .wav file using EAC or DBPoweramp.
3) I play both files back using the same PC and software player.
Would the two files sound different? If so, why? (Unfortunately, I don't have an 'excellent' CD transport to hand, otherwise I would try this.)
Mani.
