The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD

@tomcy6 I did, unless you meant for me to start a thread on how I prefer to listen to music. The same can be said for those who do what I mentioned when the shoe is on the other foot. Happens all the time and probably will not change. 

I'm not worked up or upset, if that is what you're getting at. Being a contrarian on something so simple a matter as to which means of playback one prefers to use and why, is not grounds for acrimony. To say any more would be to rehash everything I've already said. 

It seems that being a mite esoteric and matter of fact was misinterpreted as some kind of attack when it was just a rebuttal.

All the best,

The great demise of the CD! So why did  WADAX's bother to incorporate CD/SCAD playback, along with streaming,  in its new $40K Studio Player ?  Why are there other highend CD , or CD/SACD players - e.g. Soulnote, Goldnote, Neodio, Metronome, Accustic Arts, Canor,just to name a few?

@nonoise  Your posts weren't taken as an attack.  

Considering that there will be many more "Isn't streaming great" posts, I was just offering a suggestion for dealing with them.  Enough said.  Enjoy your music!  In whatever format you choose!

From personal experience of owning both very high-end CD/CDT players, and of late the incredible Shanling ET3 ($729), I find the tech in less expensive CD/CDT players was the main problem that is until the ET3 especially when combined with the Vera-Fi Audio Snubway ($295). This combination rivals many $5000+ players/transports Ive owned
