The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD

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

HTH

@tweak1, can a Subway benefit an Audio lab CDT6000?

Thx, Chaz

Meant Snubway, of course.  Effin spell-checker tried to change it in this followup!  Grrrrr.
