never used it with cds. the image quality is very good with movies, even though it has a whole lot of problems playing certain hddvd discs

I don'really know about the formatting question. It plays some home made cd's but not others. It doesn't have an amp and will require a Receiver or external amp.

Yes, depending on the source of the audio you are listening to. Most built in soundcards in laptops cannot surpass anything above CD quality. If you have the right source, this supports audio in the ranges of DVD Audio, SACD, and 24bit 96KHz vinyl rips.

It plays all Cd's either bought at store or made on computer. The sound is great for Cd's and other devices. Radio reception is not the best but otherwise good machine

P. Vo's right, you can burn the MP3s to a CD, but I thought it was worth mentioning that you should encode the MP3s at around 192kbps or higher to get the best quality when you burn to CD (too much above 192kbps won't make a difference to most people; I believe "they" have done studies to prove that you can't distinguish quality difference above this threshold, but it's up to you).Just don't encode at 128 kbps and expect the CD to be crystal clear...

Hi Brenda,I am sorry to tell you, that I purchased this for a "back-up" unit, so did not use it much. It is stored at this point. If it helps, I noticed that it had quite a bit of volume when I did try it with cd's. The AM radio was not great, but the sound quality was very good. Again, sorry for the lack of a technical answer! Regards, David

Yes, you'll have to rip the CDs into a music file format like mp3, FLAC, etc. depending on the quality you want, although you say they're on your computer, so you may have already done that. The mp3 format should be adequate for listening on the go. They don't take up much room. FLAC files will work, but they're much bigger and leave less room for more music.

No, it does not play CDs. You can still listen to music on it through headphones though.

Take into account that BT will compress the signal, so quality is somehow degraded. But I do really doubt that most of people can perceive this kind of degradation. I think it is imperceibable, because if your loudspeakers or headphones are not HiFi then it doesn´t matter how much quality your input signal is. No doubt that SPDIF or Coax signal is clearer than analog. But I have a Belkin V82 standard connected to a Technics amp with a couple of JBL Arena speakers and the sound quality, as far as my ears can perceive, is the same as compared to a CD.

My machine is digital/analog and the discs are cd-rw music/audio. Does not specify if they are digital.

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

Yes, these speakers sound very good playing CDs & MP3 files. Keep in mind that I added a sub-woofer to my set, so all the main frequencies are represented.

5hz - 30khz, this headphone reproduces like a vinyl record. You get sounds you cannot hear because you are a human. All of the sounds are exactly sound exactly like they were recorded, however the recordings may sound different/better if you have always heard it on the radio or home speakers. The source will also limit the your sound due to mp3 not being a full spectrum recording and cd is only 20hz-20khz, whereas vinyl is unlimited. The first time I heard a CD with these headphones gave me an eargasm and I had to listen to my old CD catalog again, some of which turns out were just badly recorded but some were like pure earstasy. 5hz - 30khz, this headphone reproduces like a vinyl record.

I have not noticed any difference in quality. I get these specifically because my cd recorder will record only on this exact disc. I've listened to the sound and I notice no difference.

Substantially! The sound is warmer, richer and more pleasing. I used to listen to my CDs on an RCA DVD player and thought that was OK until I heard them on the Tascam. What a difference!

I'd say regular cd-rs, I've not heard of music only cds. I'm using Ridata 52x. Cannot answer your 2nd question

The USB uses a 44.1KHz, 16 bit DAC therefore producing CD quality sound; most likely this is what your computer uses as well. You may use either.
