How much longer will CDs be made?

I "need" to justify spending $5000-$7000 for an outstanding CD player that will work well with my Spectral/MIT system.
My wife would prefer I buy a new flat panel HI DEF TV and Blu-Ray for movies and have money left over.
She says the SonyXA9000ES I use is perfectly fine for music.
She feels downloading HD music is imminent and figures I won't listen to my CDs when I hear the increased quality of Hi Def music downloads. She's comparing the improvement to Blu Ray movies over DVDs.
Personally, with the DVD-A & SACD demise (which I find sad)
and the exponential growth of lo-fi players I no longer know what to think.
Will CDs continue to be made for at least the next 5 years?
All comments welcome.

Its better to run a server vs a trasport.You get alot less jitter that way.I was thinking of buying a audio note dac awhile back.The more i looked read and learned i decided to stay with my vinyl rig.
Manufacturer's are just f ing us around with different formats.Dipping into our wallets every 10 yrs or so to rebuy our loved recordings again and again.They will only be able to come close to what vinyl already offers as far as sound quality.There not going to truly release the hi rez masters to you.They have to save that for the next go round.And the next and the next etc etc.
