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.

Someone that has a son that manages a Best Buy store said,BB plans on getting rid of all CD's within the next two years. If this happens,it may kill a lot of player production,or all of it.These big box stores helped put out of business,the record shops,brick and mortar audio and video stores,appliance dealers,so the CD may be next.

I haven't shopped for a CD there in a long time.I do remember that they didn't have a couple of the ones I wanted.A friend keeps buying them off of the net,and he calls me and asks if I
want any,and I do let him get them.He says I wont have to pay any shipping,so that works for me.I was just in one(BB) a couple of days ago to pick up some blank DVD's.I didn't look at CD's,but the cellphone department grew into the CD area. It's been awhile,so I don't know what they have to offer now.

The record companies would rather you purchase the music online.I think they could profit a lot more by not making CD's,getting stores to sell it,and the list can go on and on,by eliminating anything that will take away from their new,direct profit.
