Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?

@bigtwin - yeah, it’s a monthly subscription commitment.  Running thru your esoteric as a DAC would be fine, you just need a streamer. 

I began buying CDs when they were introduced in the early 80s (vinyl before that).  I have amassed a large collection of primarily classical CDs.  When iTunes came along, I started buying files as well as CDs.  I have ripped most of the CDs at this point, but I also have many large box sets of classical music which I am also ripping.

So...I still listen primarily to the CDs that have not been ripped yet was well as files.  I just can't get into streaming, probably because I've been collecting music for some 55 years.  Old habits die hard, although I do listen to Qobuz as a discovery tool.

CD is my third source after vinyl and streaming. Nonetheless my CD a player is dead and I have not much choice to replace it if I want to listen to tmy small CD collection. Getting a transport this time as I will use coax to my integrated DAC.

This is certainly a great time to try streaming - with many new releases, and many best albums of the year lists coming out soon...it's too bad we often debate streaming or CD like we need to pick one...some listen to it exclusively, others like myself mostly use it to discover new music, some enjoy playlists...no reason to not have CD, LP and Streaming...our priorities determine where our money goes...

I sure do. I've got thousands of CDs and an MSB Universal Media Transport Plus going into a Holo May KTE DAC. I also have a vinyl setup.
