Cd player

+1 for the Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 transport. I recently purchased mine to replace my Audiolab CDT6000 and it has taken my CD listening to a whole new level. In my system, CD playback is way better sonically than streaming. Then again I spent way more on the CDT2-MK3 than my Bluesound Node 2i. Both are connected to my Denafrips Pontus II. I have more than 2.5K CDs which makes the CDT2-MK3 a great investment IMO. I do enjoy streaming as a great way to discover new music with minimal cost. The problem with it is I don’t have ownership or control of the titles in my Amazon Music account. I have seen titles randomly disappear in my account and was forced to hunt some of these titles down on CD. I also have numerous titles on CD that Amazon doesn’t have in their library. Streaming is a great option to have, but I don’t consider it a replacement for physical media.

Another +vote for not talking yourself out of a CDP or Transport, especially, if you own a large CD library.

Happy Listening!

 Wow again thanks for all the information guys!

Excellent for supporting the C.C.P.

Purchase used. Purchase outside of china. 
 

I hope everyone in this thread knows the Chinese government owns a bit of every company. Look how they treat their civilians. It’s a horrible travesty. Your dollar has mighty influence
