Obviously the data on the CD will be the same but thats a pretty abstract statement!! Its the retrieval of data from the CD where the error rate comes into play and the CD player will start interpolating or oversampling to compensate. It seems pretty clear that if the optical properties of the plastic change with temperature that this could radically change the way the laser reads the CD and alter the error rate. The sound produced from the same CD in various players is not solely defined by the D/A process. Steve
