If you have a DAC you can get a CD transport. I got one on a budget that sounds great. Cambridge CXC CD transport. Sounds much better than anything you can get at Best Buy and it's only $600.00 (400.00 on sale). They say CD's are on the way out but they said that about vinyl. There are so many CD's out there, there will always be a market for a player. The Cambridge transport is a flat out steal.
Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?
I just read that Best Buy is discontinuing CDs. This seems like a bad omen for CDs in general. I had a system I liked and lost most of it in a fire this summer. Insurance will buy me a replacement, but is it unwise to buy a CD player now? What are high end people doing now for source?
And, my players was a Creek CD-43, CD-53, bought in about 2002. What would be an equivalent quality now? Insurance doesn't care that they are more expensive now, they just want an equal replacement. If I buy a player, which is the most popular good CD player now? It's important that is it a popular one, because I don't want to get saddled with something hard to sell since things are in flux.
Thanks.
