Why not enjoy both mediums? As people are pointing out digital recordings have evolved to a point that if the source material is done right you can enjoy both.
My analog front end has 40,000 invested in it yet my digital front end ( Modwright modified Sony 9000es, Cryoed Tung Sol tubes,Darwin The Truth silver inter connects,Acoustc Zen Krakatoa ll and Cardas Golden reference power chords)has 3000 invested in it and it rivals my analog front end. You can find cd's on the cheap at Charity outlets and Thrift stores and in over a 5 year span the money you save would. pay for your cd player investment. Enjoy both analog and digital not just one over the other. Just my 2 cents and buy used equipment and save your money for music.
