Is anyone still using a CD Player

I have two methods to replay my CD's. One being an olden design CDP with all of its risks present and well documented for the mechanical function, and the other a CDT, which is a design that has a Buffer Memory that removes the need for a replay to occur directly from the CD.  

I use both and get great joy from both in use, even though their differences as an influence on the end sound are quite discernible. 

Very recently, I had another design for a CDT loaned to me for use in my system.

Along with this CDT was a loaned DAC, to be an alternative to the one I use. The outcome of this loaned CDT used with my own DAC was that I was extremely impressed and sensed after a short-term demo' that there was a betterment to my owned devices, where the CD Mechanical replay is a subject of scrutiny.

DAC differences as an end sound evaluation during the short-term demo's were not as discernible for making selection for where betterment was being noticed.

For traditional designs of a CDP, I now have a selection of BS CD2 Discs added to my collection of CD's. These are designed by Sony and are a design claimed to improve the CD/CDP-CDT mechanical interface, by having much tighter tolerance to the read pits formed on the disc.

When extensive listening to BS CD2 is carried out on a selection of systems with a CD Source that takes a read directly from the disc as a replay. I may report back on what the assessments are of a BD CD2 used on this type of mechanical design for a CD replay device.

I've had a CD player or transport since they came out with CD's in the 80's and constantly use them; my transports play DVD's/Blu-Rays as well.... 

While I stream music about 90% of the time,  I still use turntables (SYSTEMDEK IIX and Fluance RT 3) and CD players (Naim CDi and Onkyo C7030/AVA Insight Dac)  to play physical media.  I like the tactile feel of handling physical media. 👍

I still spin CDs, SACDs, Blu Rays.  I have ripped a few thousand CDs to a NAS and  sometimes listen to them that way.  I also stream from Qobuz.

  SQ-removing non CD silver discs from the equation I slightly prefer my CD transport, followed by ripped CDs, then Qobuz.  And several rungs down the ladder would be vinyl 

I still play CDs all the time. I have considered buying some kind of streamer to play my music once I rip them to Flac files (if that's even possible), but that's a long time into the future. Just purchased a Schiit Yggdrasil Singular DAC for my transport, so I'm focused on that right now.
