For audiophile, I should say CD players are the best in terms of audio sound quality. Even though I used my portable speaker most of the time, I still love listening my playlist CD collections from my CD player. So I think CD player is not dead and will not.
I used my portable speaker most of the time because it is more convenient. I can pair with my phone and play it, and I can stream latest tracks directly from it too because it has Wi-Fi.
Regarding sound comparison, I'd say CD is perfect. My portable bluetooth speaker also just sounds great even while streaming music over Wi-Fi. The sound clarity is almost negligible.
