Are CD players dead

The clear future since all computer files can go up to a 24 bit 192 kHz
Word length is night and day better sounding then red book cd.
This is why Bryston,came out with their great player as well as others to complement their
Dac or yours.By having no moving parts you dramatically lower the noise floor with a external hard drive, or thumb drive.This is the future
Hi Rez down loads ! !

I just want to mention mpegs I do not consider hi quality.
At Hd downloads every week they are adding on also at least several
Others.I ripped almost 800 CDs high quality flac files 10 at a time
Over a few weeks then it is permanent just back it up .
I am no computer wiz I just went on utube videos and watched how it is done. Well worth the effort. If you have a IPad or stood you can just look at all the albums including album art within seconds it is that easy.

"This is the future, Hi Rez down loads!!". Echoes of 1985,
"Perfect Sound Forever!!" for CD. We got cheated with
10-12 Bit CD's being sold as 16 Bit due to a Format
Monopoly! All other Formats were being pushed out! Ditto
for Hi Rez Download Monopoly Format. Don't you get it-
Monopolies are really,really,really bad for the Consumer
and Sound Quality! Conversly they are really,really,really
Great for Manufacturing Profits. Unless you own stock in these Companies, you end up being the loser. Don't forget the CD debacle! Less Bang for the Buck really great-NUTS!

there are some very high aound quality 16 bit cds from the following labels, that, i think will easily compete with hi res files.

here are some of the labels:

audio stacatto, glossa, opus 111.

there are also some excellent sounding cds on the harmonia mundi label.

yes the genre is "clasical", but the sound will not disappoint.

I will never understand why Computer Audio Download
enthusiasts insist that all Consumers be forced to put
all of their eggs in one basket-AGAIN! Most of us got
RIPPED (Pun intended) with low quality CD's(1985) as
competing Formats were squeezed out. Some of us actually LEARNED something from the experience-Never bet the Farm (Sound Quality) on a brand new Format Monopoly (Proposed Computer Audio Downloads) in the absence of any alternatives, or competition. Let the Profit go into the Consumers back pocket (Sound Quality) instead of the Manufacturer's multi-billion dollar Bank Account-JUST ONCE-for cryin out loud! Make Computer Audio EARN its keep in
Sound Quality instead of just coast along with no competition! Stop trying to sell us out with Format Monopolies! You end up with the short end as we all do!
