Is anyone still using a CD Player

If the latest Source is not used with a DAC that has the latest DAC Chip, which is also given a merit by ASR, how can a person consider themselves an audiophile using an archaic Source material?

Fill the Landfill with your CD's and burn the planet when depending on a Data Centre to enable the Steamer to function.

I was amazed to read about "the resurgence of CDs".  I never knew they went away.

Honestly, The 505 CD player is most likely a superior sound . Many new CD discs are 1/3 the price of a vinyl record which also makes it important to keep. For variety alone

Of course! I don’t stream at all.

60% Vinyl and 40% CD’s 

As an avid user of CD's and not minding supporting a Charity, I take great pleasure in purchasing CD's from Organisations that are a Charity.

Commonly, a Half Bag full of CD's on a visit when plenty of choices are in the display costs a little more than £5. What is not to like. Today I have one Classic Album on Vinyl purchased many years ago, and nearly 50-ish Classical CD Albums, some triples, plenty of doubles for not much more than £5, accumulated over a few years. I have more Folk and World Music, more Rock/Blues and a huge collection of Pop. I've even got a collection of Nursery Rhymes and Cartoon Movie Soundtracks for the G'kids. All for about a £50-ish investment.

If a CD is not enjoyed, the Charity receives it back and hopefully gets another donation, along with some new purchases made by me. It is Win-Win
