Is anyone still using a CD Player

Everyone is different.  There is not a right or wrong way to pursue your interest in music.  I have 2 CD players, still buy a lot of CDs.  I have 5 turntables, still buy a lot of vinyl.  I have a streamer, use it mostly to preview reviewed titles to decide what I want to buy.  What is missing for me is the meta data from the streamer experience.  When I go to a live performance I want to know all about the music, the performers, the background is essential for my enjoyment.  Streaming is deficient in this area in my experience.  CD and vinyl packaging covers the water front better in this regard.  

I have a high end SACD/CD player that I feed into my DAC.  I ripped all my SACDs and CDs and put them on a large MicroSD card and play them thorough my Volumio Rivo+ streamer into the same DAC.  When I A/B the player with the streamer, I cannot tell the difference.   I mostly use the streamer now because it is easier to select and load using my IPAD.  I still kept all my CDs and SACDs and I plan to keep my player.  

Still use my Esoteric D 60 transport and D-05 DAC for silver discs. I think the SQ is on a par ( maybe better) than what i would get with a server combo. 

Wow Wow Wow! Today I investigated CDP's and CDP's across a few brands to learn the cost of a donor model or Laser Reader/Mechanism, which are TOTR from the late 80's - 90's.

Intact CDP's are starting at near $500, heading north of $3.5K for other CDP's and CDT's.

A Laser Reader/Mechanism only was discovered very cheaply at an asking price of $800 

I was thinking the big bucks were in Vintage Valves; we're all allowed to get it wrong on occasion. 

Another thing I also learned is that a friend who was instrumental in getting me to have a CD Source had a pile of some of these models pre-COVID to be solely used as a Donor CDP. I was loaned donor models already been worked on with modifications, hence my change of thought to CD as a Source. 

Vinyl is my absolute standard and I disconnected my bluray and had no way to play CDs on my main audio system for 10-15 years (only in car and on Bose wave radio while washing car in the garage),

After giving up on getting the smallish  group of CDS I really liked on vinyl due to availability or ridiculous cost (Fagen - Morph the Cat for example) I saw a great close out deal on a Rotel player and grabbed it. It sounds better than I expected with some well produced CDs (and no pops or tics). And if I know I won't want to flip the record in 20 or 10 minutes, CD's are a good option, although I don't have that many of them and some do sound pretty crappy.

Not interested in streaming and dealing with computers to select my music. It would make me skip too many songs like I do when I listen to music (not very often) on my iPhone. Plus too many decisions....After amassing my vinyl library for nearly 50 years one by one, I know what I like and finding something worthy of being in my record rotation is difficult.
