Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?


I want to upgrade my digital side … (currently Bluesound Vault 2i feeding the DAC of Oppo 105) … plan to spend around $2k … since I’ve ripped all my CDs to the Vault, thinking of spending it all on a DAC, and retire/sell the Oppo while it still has some value. I do have a few older CDPs I could retain as backup, but not sure why I would ever need.

Alternatively, was considering a better combined CDP/DAC like a newer Marantz or Yamaha … upgrades DAC performance some, and a reliable spinner for quite a few more years … but I have very few SACDs, so feeling like this would be the tail wagging the dog.

In what direction have you been migrating?
inscrutable
I just got the new SACD of Dark Side of the Moon today in the mail. Can't wait to see how it stacks up to the other various versions I have of this album.

Digital to me is just another method of getting what I really want more of...music.
Not falling for a server nor streamer, thus, losing ownership of the physical product. Beware of the Smoke-Screen.

Happy Listening!
Personally I like cd/ sacds better. Streaming isn’t there yet imho. Plus I just like the equipment and collected music! Everyone has their preference! Happy listening!😎🎶
I'm still staying with CDs cuz I think they sound better than streaming and I have an esoteric P10 transport with a Wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac.
