CD players = dead?


From an audiophile, sound quality perspective are CD players obsolete? Can a CD player offer better performance than an audio server / streamer?

@cleeds Fair criticism.  Poor word choice on my part.  "Treasure" might have been a better choice.

... "Treasure" might have been a better choice.
"Treasure" is a great word. I treasure not only my LP collection, but I consider many of the individual LPs themselves to be a distinct, special treasure all by themselves.

There is a nice review in positive feedback. Two parts that goes into the N1 pretty deep. Not sure this link will work but you can google that review.

As long as people have albums they will own a turntable and the same applies to CDs. Why not include an audio server and do all three?, I think it  would be a lot of fun. I still use a FM tuner on a daily basis for news and background music and that's fun too.
