JVC did this around 1990. The XLZ 1050 with K2 which was playback from a
memory buffer with reclocking.

this is mostly a historical question, since i think traditional cd
players are a dying breed and I'm installing my transporter tonight,
but i'm still curious. why didn't cd manufacturers stick 20-30
megabytes of memory into their machines and rebuffer and re-clock the
bitstream to avoid all the sonic problems associated with a mechanical
transport? it would be like an SB3, except the network would be
replaced with the cd.
it seems like this would have made some very good sounding cd
transports for not a huge cost. am i missing something? why didn't
manufacturures do this?
