My feelings exactly when reading the title. "CD quality" was great in the 80's and good in 90's. In 2010's it's certainly no high standard.

CD quality audio is good enough to play back through someone's old TV though isn't it. If you can afford speakers good enough to make the best of even this level of sound then they're probably not targeting you with the product. They're also going for high efficiency which may be part of the balance here.

Yeah, certainly CD quality is good, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that it's not anything to write headlines about (literally, in this case).

That a $25 USD computer can also have on-board audio that is CD quality is of note though isn't it? Probably not headline worthy like you said.
