Depends on your definition of "CD quality". Put a scope on
the output of your CD player. Play track 3 "Promiscuous"
by Nelly Furtado from her "Loose" CD. Or the Enhanced
CD (Australian Import) with the Radio Edit. Just listen to
the song. Whoever said you can't put square waves on a
CD? There is the proof you CAN! Other tracks on the
"Loose" CD are the same way. Extreme distortion, yet
it's #1 on most music charts.

I know, it's not the CD technology, it's the mastering and
HOW the raw material was pressed onto the Master. Too
many songs today suffer from this kind of horrific sound.
Compounding this is the conversion to .mp3 from which
many stations are forced to download from the Internet
due to non-existent CD distribution by the music companies.
