That would make sense in a way. Because a CD player has a much smaller current draw than an amp and because an awful lot happens in the digital domain, designers may not over engineer the power supplies like they do in expensive amps and instead put in something that from an electronics engineering standpoint is just right for that current requirement. Does a massively over-engineered PSU present a more constant load on the mains compared to a PSU that is "just powerful enough" and so not cause momentary fluctuations as the circuits operate (ie peaks in output)? Does an expensive cable with some capacitance compensate by responding to these possible fluctuations better than a straight connection to the mains?
