A CD player with buffering

I very much like this thing because it actually manages to be true while still being a bullshit product.

--- Quote ---It is a minor miracle that a CD mechanism works at all.

Between the mechanical devices controlling the laser, varying rotational disc speeds, disc wobble and the errors that must be corrected for even the best CD’s, getting perfect jitter-free music from your CD player is an elusive goal.

I wholeheartedly agree. Optical media are terrible.


--- Quote ---The PWT Memory Player changes all that forever by first extracting the music from the CD or DVD and then placing it into our Digital Lens memory buffer. When you play a disc you are never listening to the real time stream from the CD or DVD. Instead, everything you hear comes directly out of memory in perfect, asynchronous jitter free fashion.

It’s easy to see this in action for yourself. Press play on the PWT’s front panel touch screen and then press elect. The disc will be ejected but the music continues to play for up to 5 seconds.

And that's a pretty decent solution :clap:

How come no one came up with this idea before? :-DD

How do you think portable CD players (Walkman style, discman, etc) work?

Irony detector out of order?

glarsson:
Yes. Had to turn it off as the crazy people (AOC, genderbenders, flat earthers,...) gave false positives.

dzseki:
Why bullsit? Jitter free reproduction is a valid point and it takes some real effort to achieve it. It resembles to portable CD players, so what? Did they claim jitter (by digital means) free playback? No.
As to what does this cost is an other question, but if anyone would be hired here to build "premium" CD players, no one would do it for peanuts I am sure ;)
