Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

Thank You- I will reach out to you soon.

Happy Listening!

LP’s , cd, cassettes, I only,spend money on actual product,have the McCormack UDP-1, pioneer elite dv-58av,..dv-48av, dv-79-avi, and an elder 5cd Sherwood carousel which still sounds great after 20+ years,.each has their own signature tone,

evenings, I will plug in my iPod on shuffle at medium volume for background tunes when my cousin comes over for no other reason than to get so,e of my 25 year single malt

 everyone does it different, I enjoy getting off my fat ass to flip the lip, and put in another cd, gives me effort to grab another beer, or pour so,e scotch in my glass.

if you stream, awesome.

Awesome collection of Players. The McCormick UDP-1 is very sweet.

How does it sound with Hard Rock/Metal ?

Happy Listening!

I have a project rs2 transport and DAC powered by uni4 and linked i2i.

Playing this and comparing to the same albums on  tidal masters had 3 of us prefering CD.  Made no sense but true 

@dreas 

+10! You made numerous fine points. Can’t we all just enjoy the music we love regardless of what format we have chosen to listen to. None of them are mutually exclusive, one doesn’t invalidate the others. 

I happen to prefer CD listening and it’s fabulous via my Pro-Ject RS2T transport. I do not doubt for a moment  that others derive as much listening enjoyment with streaming or playing vinyl records. It’s all good.

Bill , @grannyring I know that you stream and really love it. I appreciate however you aren’t beating others on the head in evangelist fashion trying to convert them to what “you” do. I like that you can acknowledge that @facten is obviously enjoying great sound quality via his Neodio CD player spinning discs.There are many ways to engage with and appreciate the “gift” of music.
