Is anyone still using a CD Player


I have a bunch of CDs and the Krell 505 player.  I find myself defaulting to my Aurender Streamer and never listening to CDs.   I’m considering getting a CD Ripper and loading them via HSD or SSD card and loading into the Aurender.  Thoughts?  Am I in the dark ages even keeping the CD Player?

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.

Never again. I ripped all my cds and sacds in stereo and multichannel (thanks to the old OPPO players - RIP ) to an Ubuntu server and Roon and HQPlayer do the job.
