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?

YES (Ayre & Oppo)

In fact, many AAD CDs still sound better than AAD streaming IMO.  

Yes,

My prior favorite player died. I went thru half a dozen searching, then got a recommendation here and found a lightly used great sounding player:

Sony xa5400es.

I am still re-discovering my existing CDs and SACDs, and actually bought some used CDs.

CD’s, SACD’s, Blu-Rays and Hi-Rez digital downloads. Still play them and still buy them. Using Bryston BCD3, PS Audio SACD Transport, Magnetar UDP900 Universal player. I’m still all in on physical media.

I find there is a lot of music out there that is not on the streaming platforms. Just a couple days ago someone told me of a Harold Land Quintet album he had. I looked on Qobuz, Tidal and Amazon and none of them had it! So I do still buy CD’s and still have a CDT that I still use at least once a week, but 90% of my music is streamed.
