Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?


I am 100% invested in vinyl, but want to improve my digital equipment chain.

Once I’ve upgraded my streaming equipment, why purchase a quality CD/SACD transport?

Is there a large enough subset of music that sounds better via optical media?

With streaming, artists (but a comparatively few) get paid fractions of what they get from physical sales. That alone keeps me from going into streaming.

Also I find a well-mastered CD sounds well enough. It may be an unpopular opinion here but for me at least there is a line I‘m happy with not crossing. There‘s always better, so I prefer to listen to a sound that already is great and focus on the music itself.
