CD players = dead?

From an audiophile, sound quality perspective are CD players obsolete? Can a CD player offer better performance than an audio server / streamer?

It is cheaper to buy a used CD and rip it than down load digital version from HDtracks, etc. Used CDs can be purchased for a few dollars on Amazon. But, my CD player has been in a closet for 3 years.
