Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player


Seem like this format days are numbered like the cassette and LP. Why would you want to spend 5k or 10k+ for a high-end CD player or DAC combo??

Just trying to see what other audiophile’s thoughts are and where you guys & gals may be planing for the future. Do you stop here at the high end CD player and this format or go completely too digital files?

I'm at a quandary about investing into an expensive CD player setup.

CD will travel the same path as vinyl.
Computer audio will reign supreme!
Then consider proliferation of tweaks, Machina Dynamica Foos Foos for sound cards/DACs; esoteric materials for cases, servers etc., pcb wire upgrades, hard drive mods (Sidebar: which is better, mechanically written or solid state?), copper, gold, silver, platimun, unobtaniunm!!!!AARRRGH!!!!!

The questions/debates: What type of RAM is most musical? Transparent? Sound Stage?!

The possibilities are endless!!!! The tweaking and upgrading monster is still alive!!!!

But wait!

The best of all!

"Vintage" hard drives! Processors! RAM! "Old school" computer audio! Whew! We are safe!

A little END of YEAR foolishness my friends!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy New Year to you and your families with many a healthy, prosperous New Years to come!

Best,
