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?

Yep ,,,, you betcha even though I also stream QUBOZ through a separate dedicated streamer/dac.

REGA ISIS VALVE cdp/dac is a 55lb premium build high-end audio product that also provides external source digital file playback with direct USB input into its high -end dac.

it is the only model that I am aware of that has a standout feature with REGA’s commitment to long-term serviceability, including storing two matched, serial-numbered replacement laser mechanisms for each unit at their factory. 
 

This REGA unit is a generally a better audio performer than my standalone $4K streamer/digital player/dac. That is not surprising because the REGA cdp analogue output stage is governed by tubes, and it costs more than three times the price of my dedicated external streamer .

 

 

My CD player is the main source for me.  I'd say 80% CD - 20% Vinyl.  I have no streaming equipment in my system.  Although, as I type this, I'm listening to ad free Spotify on my $30 bluetooth speaker.  My "winter" system.  I can see the attraction of having all this music available.  

Same here.  I have ripped over a thousand CDs to my streamer and also use streaming services, but CD/SACD is over 50% of my listening 

I used to play CD's, but then started ripping to my PC and playing back with JRiver. 

After that, I bought a Baetis Music server, and rip to that play, and play from it. I have Spotify, lossless, and play off them.

Most likely 80% Baetis, 20% Spotify. 

Baetis server sounds as good as my CD player did.  I still have the CD player, a YBA unit. It's in a box, and put away for storage.
