The DACs in the Sony CDP 101  and the Philips CD 100 (the first
generation CD players) were almost sonically transparent. The similar

Some contemporaneous amps and preamps would pass similar listening
tests.

Consider a  veryshort piece of properly shielded copper wire. Can it
possibly make an audible change in an audio signal?  How long does it
have to be in order for the changes that is makes to be audible?
