I dont see a future for very expensive machines that are CD only. But there will still be demand for stuff that can play a CD. Tons of "software". Used CDs can be had for a song, they are more durable than the LP record so shopping for used ones has less anxiety involved. The CD player or equivalent will be a part of systems for some time into the future. Unless you are willing to replace what you got with some sort of expensive hi rez. replacements. That is why alot of people kept up with LPs, they cannot get a CD of the same stuff, or figure why bother if the LP is in fine condition. I just bought a mid priced player with the seller eating the first 18 months of depreciation at a substantial savings over new. And broken in. BUt mint condx. My 12 year old player gave up and tech advancements dictate this might sound better. I dont give a dam for lo rez digital formats and hi rez is more scarce.
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
Seem like this format days are numbered like the cassette and LP. Why would you want to spend 5k or 10k+ for a high-end CD player or DAC combo??
Just trying to see what other audiophile’s thoughts are and where you guys & gals may be planing for the future. Do you stop here at the high end CD player and this format or go completely too digital files?
I'm at a quandary about investing into an expensive CD player setup.
