The CD player is dead.......


I am still waiting for someone to explain why a cd player is superior to storing music on a hard drive and going to a dac. Probably because you all know it's not.

Every cd player has a dac. I'll repeat that. Every cd player has a dac. So if you can store the ones and zeros on a hard drive and use error correction JUST ONCE and then go to a high end dac, isn't that better than relying on a cd player's "on the fly" jitter correction every time you play a song? Not to mention the convenience of having hundreds of albums at your fingertips via an itouch remote.

If cd player sales drop, then will cd sales drop as well, making less music available to rip to a hard drive?
Maybe, but there's the internet to give us all the selection we've been missing. Has anyone been in a Barnes and Noble or Borders lately? The music section has shown shrinkage worse than George Costanza! This is an obvious sign of things to come.....

People still embracing cd players are the "comb over" equivalent of bald men. They're trying to hold on to something that isn't there and they know will ultimately vanish one day.

I say sell your cd players and embrace the future of things to come. Don't do the digital "comb over".

No problem. Stick around, I'm going to push a few more buttons. There are some real Firecrackers on this thread with some real short fuses. Who could be bored watching KRAKATOA happening all over again! Your gonna miss the Fireworks! Of course if that sort of thing bores you, maybe you need to ask your phsyciatrist to up your medication. Hate to see a Manic Depressant miss the whole World as it goes by! Geez...doesn't ANYTHING excite you anymore Audiofeil, sounds like a personnal problem, can't help you!
You are boring the living Hell out of poor Audiofeil. Now, you are boring the living Hell out of poor Audiofeil, tomatoe/tom-a-toe, just a technicality! POOR AUDIOFEIL, he must be one really poor slob though!
Jdoris-Death Match? The guy can't even stay awake for five minutes! He's already dead! Oh! I get it, it's a joke! Much like the attempt to get rid of the CD was a joke, and I was foolish enough to take it seriously! Hey, I'll bet the guy can't even hold his eyes open for 30 seconds, any takers? By the way, anyone seen him recently. Oh, let me guess, he's sleeping under a rock. You might end up having a whole lot of Fans demanding their money back on this one, Jdoris, It sucks to be you!
CD's perfect sound forever, Rgs92? Why don't you guys come clean and admit that you are all nothing more than
A.I.N.O. Audiophiles in name only. It is so obvious that you guys are just trying to protect your jobs in the "Computer Industry"! Does the Industry give you a Bonus
to go on Websites to promote the Industry? Either that or are you guys just trying to make me laugh to death with your pathetic attempts? I know, I know, I am the Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist. Except you guys couldn't form a Conspiracy if your life depended on it.
Will someone PLEASE check on Audiofeil, the guy could have lapsed into a Comma or be dead by now! I suppose that you could always stuff him and put him on display. You could stuff him with the same B.S. that you guys have been trying to feed me. Who do you guys get your marching orders from anyways, Inspector Closeau? Until neest time, caseess solved! Now I'm scared!
