CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?

I sold my Audio Research CD3MkII and replaced it with Apple Mac Mini + 1tb HD, via USB into Bel Canto DAC3.
Sure the CD3MkII was one awesome CD player and I loved it.
But...no regrets. So far so very good.

Any Iphone users out there?

The Iphone can now be used as a remote for your Itunes library. Now, you don't even need to use your computer or complicated "music server" system to pick your music. You can do it with your finger on your phone.

Yes. Works great. Plus it works with my Sonos system.

Not now, but when 1TB Solid state drives start selling for $100-$150...then maybe, but will still have a SACD/CD player.

SS drive is included in new ASUS .......
like this one for around $400.
My buddy bought one and couldn't be happier. It isn't exactly MacBook Air but close....... considering that it was made by total screw-ups and runs on greed driven operating system.
SS drives are quite a leap forward but keep in mind that these are first generation models and you will never catch up with either software or hardware.
It is a loose-loose situation for customers .....as always.

As to SACD as a format............they come and go - who knows what will they come up with next to screw us again. As far as I am concern, "Red Book" and LP is my format of choice and will be for quite some time.
