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?

And some prefer to play single CD/SACDs. It takes time to copy a large number of CDs to a server, but is more convenient playback. Buying online digital music is more expensive than buying CD/SACDs today. Internet streaming is listening to someone else's choice of music, not personal classics from your own collection.
