Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?

Once I thought my Melco S100/N100/Roon killed my cdp(Linn Ikemi)... Until purchasing Jays Audio CDT Mk.2 cd transport... Which killed streaming. Anyway my analogue(EMT 948) was better than both still.

It has been (is) a fun thread. FWIW, I’ve finally decided. I am replacing my Oppo with a better CDP … Marantz SA-KI Ruby … reportedly a much improved DAC I can feed streaming content (including my CDs ripped to my Vault2i), but also retain improved playback of my CDs (keeping). I’m also interested in how SACD playback sounds on this beast. Not sure I want to pay $35 a pop for new ones, but maybe over time will see some of those on used market. I will still rip all my new CDs still buying to the Vault2i so I can feed my collection to the Node2i in the living room.
Vinyl never leaving, have tables in both listening and living rooms. Still prefer that ritual/experience, and usually the sound (although I expect this new player, especially with SACD, will give it a run and perhaps surpass). We shall see …

I can't believe there is so much misinformation on this thread. 
1) Backups go bad. Are you backing up to paper tape? Tape? Backups don't fail, its people who fail to backup. If you are backing up to disk, all disks will eventually go bad, but the chances of both your source disk and your backup disk going bad at the same time is very rare. You do have to be smart about your backups: if you are getting disk errors, fix them or replace the disk, make sure your backups are operating every hour/day/week.
2) Errors reading music from HD. This is the most simplest thing to do on a computer. It's so easy, its built in all Macs, you insert a cd, iTunes reads and imports the disc, and you doubt;e click the album icon, and it plays. A 4 year old can do this. iTunes sucks for audio quality though! If you use any of the music apps that run on a computer: Roon, pure music, or a dozen others, you break up the parts of ripping music from the playing music apps.
3) Its been proven over a dozen years ago that reading music from a HD sounds better than from a CD player. I got rid of all my cd/sacd players almost 15 years ago.
4) If people play cds or albums because they can read the liner notes, you are missing out on much more important information that Roon provides. 
5) networks are a problem! There hasn't been a better time to install a robust/secure network than now. Network installation is very very easy. If you don't know networks, buy a mesh network and plug them in. If you can't do this, get the 4 year old I talked about above to help you.
6) so much trouble putting servers in different rooms. It's called being smart. You don't want any type of server in your audio room.

   "But the problem I see is that, because everything is at hand, your listening changes too and you just jump around rather than listening to a CD/LP that often the artist put a ton of time into to create a musical arc. It’s instant gratification time".

Yes-- the "playlist" has increasingly become the focus.  

I’m almost 65yrs old, and I’ve been collecting physical mediums for music for over 50 years. I literally still have several hundreds of pounds of LP’s, CD’s, cassette and reel to reel tapes, and even some 8-track tapes that were produced in what was then called “Quadraphonic Sound”. But we live in the 21st century now, and there’s this relatively new thing called music streaming which I have found to be a Godsend to a lifelong music lover like myself. Granted that I spent quite a bit of coin to put together my headphone system during the pandemic lockdown. But for me the gains in SQ and convenience were well worth it.
