Is anyone still using a CD Player

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.
 

I find the sound of my Meridian G5 transport connected to a PSA Junior DAC magical. I am mostly listening to Jazz and classical music.
The sonic stage on my Shahinian Hawks seems to be wider and more transparent compared to streaming. The G5 transport does some complicated digital magic to the data stream from the CD which makes me so much enjoy the music.
A solo concert grand of the scale of a Steinway Model D puts that piano in my room. A Mahler Symphony puts me into the concert hall.
I never start listening to a CD when I don't have the time to listen it through. Because once I start it I can't stop listening anymore. I am not saying this will only happen with CDs. But it does happen with my stack.
Also, since I make music listening a dedicated event, I just like the physical aspect. Pulling the CD out of the shelf. Looking at the booklet. Placing the disc into the Meridian. Pushing the Play button.
I grew up before even brick sized cell phones were around, let alone smart phones. It just resonates so much better with me compared to swiping and tapping on a smart phone.
