Is anyone still using a CD Player

@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. 

CD's, DVD's, LP's and cassette tapes only as far as music goes...

The streaming I enjoy is limited to FloMax.

I also have R2R tapes and 78 RPM records that I cannot play on my current setup.

I do not trust a non physical music or otherwise library due to all the digital  failures that I have experienced since 1997, or so, and they just keep coming on strong.

This said, if I did not already own a physical media library containing almost everything of interest to my wife and myself streaming would definitely spark my interest as it would be considerably less expensive, and require considerably less effort than obtaining hard media of older selections of interest.

Instant gratification (for me) is currently directed towards Internet searches and Cable TV watching.

I prefer to listen to music in the same manner that I cook, bathe and otherwise live life - with a more hands on approach - doing so as long as I can (I also dislike change as I'm a Capricorn dambit)

I think the question you should really be asking is why are so many HiFi companies now producing new CD and SACD players and transports? Because new CD sales are holding up well as younger people want to support bands by buying physical media that rewards them for their efforts. That owning rather than renting is appealing. That there are lots of old CDs from great artists in excellent condition available from as little as a$1 at thrift stores. I guess you could say there is some sort of revival. So, YES I have a CD/SACD player, and I use it every day to enjoy my collection of CDs. Do I have a streamer, yes but only to listen to music before purchasing or that is not available on CD/SACD. Somehow I don't equate album listening as I do on CD and Vinyl to streaming and worrying about searching immediately for my next track.
