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?

What are these CDs you speak of? I just started using my open reel again. 😊

I would keep the CD player, especially that one.

 

I perceive a difference in SQ between Streaming and CD/SACD.  Streaming always getting better though ....

@ktgsjs what Aurender streamer are you using and what DAC? And what differences do YOU hear between CD player and streaming. How about your SACDs? Any different from streaming?

When you have physical media why would you not listen to it and go to another format to listen to the same music.? so yes to getting a decent CD player and listening to your collection.

This is like having a photograph album but before looking at them first converting them to digital just because today digital photography is so popular! Doesn't make sense ....right?!

Not only do I still use a CD player but I use two of them. My Marantz CD60 is only a couple months old. My Rotel CD11 Tribute player is a year or so old. I'm still buying CD's on a regular basis too.
