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?

Physical media is the way for me.  I adore knobs, buttons, switches, sliders and all the tactility (new word?) that the analog world provides the high performance audio hobby.  Growing from radio to album to R2R to cassette to CD to SACD and the higher rez versions of said discs and the gear that supports it is my audio world.  Always the chance and opportunity to improve the musical results.

Then GUI interfaces and the digital invasion of "audio files" as opposed to songs, tracks or cuts.  As an old drummer, i'll happily save my swipes, taps, swishes, drags, flicks and my galvanic response for my dear lover, and not my digital interface.

And at times, they're both quite disagreeable.  Wouldn't you agree.

I do a little bit of “streaming” via Spotify on my iPad. 
 

Mostly, I listen to CDs, SACDs, and LPs. 
I guess they will have to confiscate my Audiophile membership card.
