I used to think I would always prefer to play CDs. Then I was auditioning some new speakers and the guy handed me an iPad and said pick your music. I was hooked. I did some research and bought a Mac Mini, Arcam RDAC, and started ripping. Using lossless file type, (disk space is cheap), and playing back using Pure Music player which sits on top of iTunes, I now have my entire Cd library available at a touch. I've played songs I haven't listened to in years. All this can be done right about the price you are willing to spend ( and some time ripping).
Just a thought.
