Nothing like a good CD Player...but the big question is how long will optical media rule the market in the age of legal and illegal Internet downloads.....
however good or expensive a cd player is, it always has digital out and that itself suggests that companies know that they are offloading junk and ultimately, people like us after spending thousands on CD player, spend another bundle of notes on DACs. So, beg "No" for a CD player.
I did not mean to be offensive, my friend, was just venting out my frustration of having been through this .
