When I had my SACD player and a Paradigm streamer (Tidal), I would listen to both. When I got a Sony ES HDD player and ripped my collection to the drive, I haven't listened to the CD player since.
CD Player vs. music streaming
Dear audiophiles:
I am in the cross road for the media choice. My CD player suffered from abnormal tray movement and consider to replace a new one (maybe the 2nd hand one). But on last Sunday, I paid a visit to the audio show and find out there are showing many streaming player of the famous brands with the price range of US$ 5000~20,000. I feel the sound is not bad with short listening.
I am thinking about my situation once more, if I buy a HI-Fi CD player, the price might equal to the audio streamer. Then, if I choose the CD player, I would keep on buying CD. But if I give up CD player and replace it with a audio streamer, my expense might be the monthly subscription expense which cost a CD or so. Besides,
my kids have no interest in classical music appreciation. There is no meaning for me to keep on buying CD. When I am passed away, the CD are useless...without not penny.
Under such kind of consideration, should I stay in CD player or should I switch to music streamer.
Any good opinion?
