I have heard that the CD mechanism is patented, just like the Dolby
System for cassette players. So, in my opinion, the sound quality
should therefore be the same regardless of the make/model in question.
Can anyone confirm this ?

No -- the *entire* mechanism is not patented, if by mechanism
you mean 'CD player'. Even as far as patented parts go, the patents
do not mean that all implementations must be identical, any more
than all core memories (remember those?) were identical.
