"CDs by and large are not purely digital and nobody ever gave a rat's behind about that. Hel-loo!"

Please elaborate?

Most CDs with some exceptions are produced from the original analog tape. Thus, they are not purely digital.

  CD haven't been made from analog tapes (for the most part) since the 1980's.
  
  I think you got stuck in the past somehow.

    If you can tolerate DDD CDs more power to you.

      What's wrong with DDD CDs? Plenty of those around... Some good, some bad. Just like there were good and bad LPs, ADD, AAD, SACD, etc.

        Haven't you noticed DDD CDs sound generally thin, two dimensional, synthetic, bland, etched, rolled off at top, rolled off at bottom, congealed, airless, monotone and disappointing.

  Where did you get that information? Do you have any idea how long digital has been in the recording world? Yes, people USED to record on analog tape -- but, please, do a little bit of research on what's been happening for the last few decades.

    Yes, I have some idea how long digital has been around the recording world. But I'm excluding those recordings, as I said. Do you have any idea how many recordings are created with analog tape or remastered from the original analog tape?
    The best sounding CDs have always been the ones made from analog tape, not the all-digital ones. Sadly, the all-digital CDs generally sound thin, two dimensional, bass shy, rolled off, irritating, bland, overly compressed, un-involving, synthetic, metallic, and like papier-m

      These are just foolish generalizations. Now I remember, you're the clickbait guy advancing the state-of-the-art in hi-fi... sad I wasted my time answering.
