CD players = dead?

My CDs are alive, well and singing for me like they never have before with so so much more detail being revealed thanks to my replacement of previous CD playing technology [EMM Labs CDSD Transport, DCC2 DAC, Marantz SA-7S1 (used as a transport), Rey Audio Kinoshita R-DAC, Esoteric K-03x (used as a CD integrated player and separately as a transport & DAC)] with the Jay's Audio CDT-3 Mk2 transport feeding the Denafrips Terminator DAC.with the connection between the two being i2s HDMI thereby bypassing the S/PIDF interface in the Terminator. And here is my story of my new CD experience:
