Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

@vonhelmholtz 

Your decision sounds reasonable. Certainly getting rid of the big pile of disk drives. I have been in IT most of my career… so I have about 50tb in storage… not including a bunch of source disks laying around. 1) my primary PC (14TB), 2) NAS 14TB… and 3) backup Drobo (16tb) (USB connect). I try to maintain 2 backups.

@vonhelmholtz  You laid out the reasons, wise choice in my estimation.

You are very fortunate to own a Neodio Origine S2 Player.  Very sweet.

Which CD player did you own previously?

Happy Listening!

Why?

This is a very profound question.

Let me have a stab:

to play cds, sacds...?

no?

@jafant - In my main system my previous sources were a Mojo Audio EVO DAC and Simaudio 260D CD Transport. I enjoyed listening with them and have moved them into my 2nd system. I don’t stream but if I decide to and want to use my main system the Neodio also has SPDIF and USB digital inputs for that purpose.
