why is oversampling in CD players considered bad?

[Guido Tent]

Ideally the industry standard for CD transports and separate DAC boxes should have had the master oscillator in the DAc box (so the DAC gets a jitter free clock) and the transport is slaved to that master oscillator. The transport, being all digital "pixels" won't much care if the clock has some jitter, as the DAC would have a buffer to clean it up.

ideally yes......

Practice shows the least amount of crosstalk from jittery signals (data included) towards that clean clock, affects the conversion. Therefor I strongly reccomend to ensure the lowest possible jitter at the input of the DAC.

By the way, we could start a thread containing more marketing rubbish.......

I need better BS to spread.

Armed with some 'bijou' enclosures and a little imagination for the marketing talk (easy task) we could make serious money on the audio business.
Inside the gear?
I don't know, this is the tough part. How to mess up everything and spend more money in parts?
I really can't be so idiot. 😀
