When I have seen people listing their systems lately

I have a PS audio DS, and I have been with computer based audio since 2004.
Guess what I noticed that the music coming out of my Sony 5400es satisfy me the most. I buy used CDs regularly in Amazon even when I can listening on tidal. Tidal is convenient and the best quality streaming source but I still prefer the CD quality. Nothing is written on stone yet related to format it is all very subjective, connected to convenience and the music you own.
I am not planning to sell my Sony anytime soon. Yes I use foobar with windows flac files, audirvana, iTunes with AIFF, and vinyl on my VPI.
My 2 cents.

CD/SACD players are not dead!

I log many hours each week listening to tracks on my music server. 90% of my listening time.  I rip all new CDs to server up front. Have not played a cd since about 2009.   CDs are fine but listening off a music server with good streaming software takes things to a whole new level.  No going back once there.  

grounded on the sandbar of reality..

Imagine IF your fave artist just worked on what you needed...

what a boring world it would be..

just what I need..

each according to their need...
