Why CD players will never be dead

Hi vhiner,

The reason why anyone cares is because this is part of the above discussion. It means nothing to me personally, but I do recognise the audiophile disease in the above posts & I am contributing my experience.

Hi Mrtennis,

I was under the impression the PS audio is a memory player of sorts. So slightly blurs this conversation. It sounds good too. PS audio are an honest company.

Re this tube or that for added audiophile happiness, there is always a way to add the euphonics if that's what works for you. Ironically I ended up with a flea power SET being a bit of a tube hater! So I do understand, but the latest generation DACs completely rewrote what was possible from Digital. Even making my DCS Scarlatti sounding a bit "old" digital & at a cheaper price.

Ok you could use a transport in, but 0 jitter via FireWire sounds way better to me. Also you may find the coloration you are adding now is unnessassary with an extremely fine sounding DAC like the Weiss Medea plus FW. You won't want anything in the way of its stunning sound quality.

Look guy's Dicks disks are getting a complex and may not be able to perform after this.

Irvrobinson - better yet, just keep a book of the CD inserts to browse. This is what I plan on doing if I ever get around to going the way of the computer.

Yeah, I was discussing this issue with someone in the office, and there are lots of good ideas available. After some thought I've decided the real problem is that I'm not motivated enough to change. Being a dinosaur is still convenient enough. ;-)

Chadeffect,

I apologize for my imprecise wording...I meant I didn't understand why anyone would want to change someone else's firmly stated preference..as if against their will. You are merely sharing your experience which is, of course, completely understandable.

As to the topic, which is whether the compact disc is dead, I think it's safe to assume people will hold on to their dicks as long as it suits them, floppy or otherwise. Thanks again Hevac1! Autocorrect has it's blessings...the results are often hilarious.
