Is it possible she just prefers the sound of the $0.99 DAC in your CD player over the high-end DAC in the SB2? :-) In all seriousness, there will always be differences unless both sources are supplying the same digital signal to the receiver. Because the CD player has a different DAC with different characteristics those differences are just the way it will be. Can your daughter explain which sounds *better* to her and why? That's asking a lot for a 13-yr old, but she may have a very fine acoustical sense at that age particularly if she hasn't blown her ears out like some of us older folks.
