Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?


I am 100% invested in vinyl, but want to improve my digital equipment chain.

Once I’ve upgraded my streaming equipment, why purchase a quality CD/SACD transport?

Is there a large enough subset of music that sounds better via optical media?

I just bought an Audiolab 6000CDT last year and I probably use it 20-25% of the time. I have many CD’s and LP’s that aren’t on any streaming services. 
 

You ever hear of “ The Incredible Broadside Brass Bed Band? LOL, I didn’t think so😁

The reason is obvious and it’s totally worth it. Look towards Japanese issued CDs. The library is huge with a lot of rare masterpieces. The quality is amazing. Also it’s good investment. Recently i was looking for Japanese Sony issue of “The Wall” album and I couldn’t buy it lower than $50. Couple years ago the price was around 30. German staff also could be very good, a specially Hybrid multichannel 2+2+2 recording. Try labels like Dabringhaus und Grimm. The SQ is truly amazing.
