Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?

My disc playing (CD, SACD, DVD Audio and Blu Ray Audio) had diminished to almost nothing. And then, on a whim, I bought a new DAC that could accommodate the output from my CD player (an Oppo 105). The DAC I use for my streaming system (an Ayre QB-9 Twenty) is a joy, but USB only. When I hooked up the Oppo 105 to the new DAC (a new PS Audio Stellar), the discs came to life. In my system, to my ears, the Oppo sounded kind of flat and gray. No more! The Stellar brought discs back to life, and I am going back through my good-sized collection and enjoying them again. I have so many CD box sets that I am grateful to explore once more. 

My order of use is still vinyl first, then streaming, and then CD/SACD. But discs are back in the game, and that is fun.

I have an inexpensive streamer to audition music and then get the CD, BluRay, etc to support the artist.

Haven't made the $$ leap to serious streaming mostly because I don't know if streaming can replicate the quality of a BluRay disc. Comments??

Using a Modwright modified oppo UDP 205.

I do!

CD’s, SACD’’s, 

streaming isn’t HiFi to my ears. Great way to explore new music and musicians

What a great soft focus Hollywood style publicity shot. I hope you don’t mind me saying, great legs too.

What equipment did the photographer use?

That's just how he looks before he starts getting ready to go out!
