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?

If you have a good sized collection of CDs and SACDs that you will play occasionally, it might be worth your time and money to upgrade your SACD player. If you’re really100% committed to vinyl, you should put your money there.
