Why CD players will never be dead


The main reason , there is just way to many CD's out there to end a format . Anyone want to take a guess how many ? The manufacturers are still putting there time and resources into developing new and better players , and people with servers seem to be spinning disc's more than ever .

hi steve:

are you so confident that you would make a wager that i would prefer your digital front end, over my favorite cd player ??
Grannyring,

What's the rush? Wait another year or two and you'll be able to get something easy-to-use and fantastic for your $1500. The pace of improvement is like lightning right now. A huge investment in computer audio right now will likely result in disappointment later. The reason you get so many conflicting opinions about what works is that people are just now figuring some of this out.. We're still in BETA (at least in terms of user- friendliness) when it comes to computer audio. Just my two cents.
Grannyring,

My TRL is not the latest version, it is a few years old. And it does sound really good. I am ripping seedees using DB poweramp into Apple Lossless. I find that this sounds better than FLAC or WAV to my ears. I added the CIA PS for the squeezebox, but that is the only mod so far. I plan to have Bolder do their digital out mod on the SB.

Shakey,

Wayne at Bolder modded my linear PS and I am loving the result. He's got a Bybee mod that's supposed to be amazing. Too bad I'm over budget right now.
Thanks Shakey and point well taken Vhiner. I will wait more.
I do own a Squeezebox Touch and an Apple iMac into a Bel Canto DAC in my smaller second system. I will try your DB Poweramp idea and press on learning in my second system.
