Is anyone still using a CD Player

@lightfighter2018 "I decided that I better buy CDs before I can’t -- because as it is -- gettin any type of medium for audio and video is becoming more and more of a challenge - if not impossible to acquire - I am not talking on  the used market - I am talking - buying new - there is no store I know of that you can buy NEW CDs or DVDs. Best Buy, Target, there are no more music stores, Amazon has very few to choose from if they are even in stock - so - "

Maybe it depends upon what artists you are looking for , or how old the title  is, but I really don’t have a problem finding NEW CDs or Vinyl available on Amazon. You can find also find NEW  on the websites such as CCMusic.com, Elusive Disc, Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct. TowerRecords.com, to name a few

I play CD’s more than record albums.  I don’t stream much except through my phone and Bluetooth speakers.  

@facten Band Camp and crowdfunding are good methods to purchase new artists' produced hard media. I buy this way as the remuneration to the artist is attractive, and much improved over a streaming platform's payment.

Note: established artists are also on the same portals.   

LOL I just received a text message form a friend who uses a high end streamer and an Audio Note DAC completely modified.  I have hear it many many times.  He borrowed a Bryston CDP-3 player and was blown away by the sound.  Go figure.

Still using my Esoterix K01x often

1) SACDs sound great. Same level as my vinyl. Regular CDs depend on mastering.

2) I can’t seems to make streaming sound the same. With Aurender N200 and Nordost Tyr2 usb cable. Maybe I would need a switch and other gadgets on top. 

3) I enjoy all 3 formats, of course streaming for music discovery.
