I own over 3000CD’s and about 200 SACD’s. I have an $8500.00 Esoteric SACD player and I am hoping it is the last cd player I buy. I also have a Sony music server with about half my CD collection ripped to FLAC which I play. Honestly, I like using the CD player and I find it sounds slightly better (due to the better internal DAC) than my music server.
Put it this way, when I am feeling lazy I use the music server, but when I really want to get into the music, I play the SACD player or the turntable.
