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?

I sold my CD player after I started streaming.  Now I am considering adding a transport.  What should I be looking at to compliment an Innuos Statement and Lampizator Golden Gate 3.  What outputs are best.

Both Esoteric spinners DV-50 and DV-60 better any server/streamer up to the $20K mark.  Good to read you are still enjoying yours.

 

Happy Listening!

My McIntosh MCD-600 CD/SACD player is my only source.

Love the silver discs.

Perfectly happy.

@jafant Hello Jafant! Been awhile. I've been busy being retired. Hope all is well.

Honestly, I do find myself enjoying the vinyl medium more than any other. It is simply more engaging for some inexplicable reason. However, despite my awareness of this and due to an almost total lack of my genre on LP, my predominate format is CD playback. Much more detail and soundstage and entertaining to deep dive into fun nuances. (What is my genre of choice you ask? Downtempo, acid jazz, electronica) Then about streaming, which, if I wanted to do it at any level of quality is simply out of my budget. I gave up before I really got started due to my worthless provider out here in the sticks. So a big vote for the silver disk.
