It just as easy to better PC based playback, as it is to do worse!
Yes, i am suggesting that that the same hardware have the potential to compete at multi thousand pounds level worth of CD playback, and in another config can sound truly vile!
What these discussions need to make clear is whether the audio file is being treated as a file or an audio stream. While it is stored on a computer it is always treated as a file and you may copy it one hundred times and i swear, the 100th generation copy WILL display the same CRC checksum as the original copy.
Unless your computer/storage is defect of course.
As soon as the file is being processed into an audio stream it will be susceptible to jitter, bit loss etc. When ripping a CD (-R) you are relying on another sensitive process which i belive is quite similar to an audio stream. Or at least very simple error detection and correction..
Of course i may be full of crap!
