Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."

Peak vinyl. Good one.

Even more interesting is why you said, "higher resolution" instead of enjoyable, captivating, musically satisfying, or anything having anything at all to do with an actual reason any normal person would want to listen to it.

We all know there are tons of record players all over the place selling for the same or even more now than when they were first made 20, 30 or more years ago. Don’t even have to be that good. Plenty of run of the mill direct drive Technics that were $350 back in the 70’s fetching $400 today.

So. Seriously. There are no CD players you can say this about? None?? Anywhere? EVER???!

I know you’re fishing for a hostile debate but the market has clearly spoken. Nearly no one cares about CDs and I can’t see that ever happening again. Cassettes are coming back but that will be short lived. Yes, higher resolution. It’s digital so specs matter. Audiophiles have moved on to DSD and high res streaming. With a great DAC I can play everything including CD data. Give it up. CDs are dead and aren’t coming back. If you buy a $10k transport, be aware it’s going to be tough to resell. 

If you want something that will hold it's value consider any repairs that may be needed down the road.Invest in the replacement parts now and tuck them away for later.
Yeah,I'm one of those losers that still play CDs.Everything comes back around again.Victrolas,turntables,CD players....

Everything comes back around is a patently false claim but whatever. 

Hello millercarbon,

     I just bought a Lumin D2 streamer paired with an 18 TB NAS that now contains about 20,000 albums, about a third are CD quality and the rest are hi-res ranging from 24 bit/96 kHz FLAC to 1 bit DSD WAV files.  I use an Ipad, with all components connected to my wi-fi,  to view and select exact albums or tracks to play.  It's ultra convenient and the sound quality is excellent.  I'm also able to stream Tidal through the Lumin D2 which sounds very good.

     I'm suggesting you might want to consider investing in a similar source system that benefits from the latest technology rather than an older CD player with older technology that likely provides a lower degree of sound quality as well as being less convenient.  

Later,
Tim
