Either this is because you're listening to badly mastered CDs or your
mind plays tricks on you ("this is CD, i CAN'T sound good). I don't
really believe that you could successfully ABX 24/96 vs. 16/44.1.

And don't underestimate the importance of your CD-Player being good. A
Sony for US$300 just won't do it if you're hyped for Hi-Fi. If your DVD
equipment is that much better than your CD-Player, there's a lot room
for misinterpretation.

If there's crap on CD (or DVD), you will/should hear it. A very good CD
can sound very good, and this has little to do with bit resolution and
sample rate. (Well, except you're Batman with ears more sensitive to
high frequencies. ;) )
