I don't think investing in a cdp is risky. Tons of people are trying to offload their cd collections, just go to your local pawn shop, where you can pay the same amount for a cd as an itunes download. If you have a good cd collection, using a dac is more of a novelty than anything. But if you are like me, and only have a few cds because i grew up in the internet generation, a dac is a neccessity for a hi-fi flac setup.
