Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?


I do have a CD player, however, at this point, I rarely use it. I mostly listen to vinyl and stream.

Do you still regularly use your CD spinner?

Me.

I never stream because I've been ripped off by steaming, as have most artists.

I have ripped all my CDs and SACDs into .wav and .dsf files.  I have a CD/SACD transport.  I have a streamer that will also stream ripped files.   I have all of this feeding in to the same DAC.  I cannot tell the difference between my SACD/CD transport and the ripped files.  Qobuz streaming also sounds just as good as my ripped files, so, I mostly just stream Qobuz, play my ripped files, or listen to my Vinyl. 

No.  At first my CD transport sounded better, but as I upgraded my streaming setup the differences became minimal so unless it’s music that’s not on Qobuz I no longer touch a CD. 

I play a CD pretty much every day, though not always on main system...I have numerous secondary systems, all include CD and some also streaming...I probably mostly stream, and play LP often in a binge of a few weeks...I do worry about the short and long term effects of streaming financials on artists and music, especially for non mainstream artists and music...
