How much longer will CDs be made?


I "need" to justify spending $5000-$7000 for an outstanding CD player that will work well with my Spectral/MIT system.
My wife would prefer I buy a new flat panel HI DEF TV and Blu-Ray for movies and have money left over.
She says the SonyXA9000ES I use is perfectly fine for music.
She feels downloading HD music is imminent and figures I won't listen to my CDs when I hear the increased quality of Hi Def music downloads. She's comparing the improvement to Blu Ray movies over DVDs.
Personally, with the DVD-A & SACD demise (which I find sad)
and the exponential growth of lo-fi players I no longer know what to think.
Will CDs continue to be made for at least the next 5 years?
All comments welcome.

You have a smart and wise wife, listen to her.

Put your money into HT for her enjoyment and the rest into analog.
Audiofeil,

Do you really think they get it, that digital is dead and over?

Somewhere I read, "having eyes to see they see not and having ears to hear they hear not".
