CD players = dead?

From an audiophile, sound quality perspective are CD players obsolete? Can a CD player offer better performance than an audio server / streamer?

A server and or streamer is so much easier to use especially when a person has a lot of digital music, Do they sound better maybe,the sound quality is more about The processing of those digital bits and we have lots of really nice Dac's for not a whole lot of money. I personally haven't used a CD player or transport in 6 to 7 years. Best, Kenny.
