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.

Is there viability to downloading music in a hi-rez format, burning to a DVD and then playing back on a hi-rez player? I have absolutely no experience in this area, or with computer based audio storage/playback, but I am considering getting started in 2011.
when it does not seem that way is when I will make a move to hard drive based storage, or possibly cloud based hi-rez stream and play
I agree with Grannyring and Pubul57. For now I am actually going back and forth between two excellent players, one of which has the capability to play hi-rez DVD-A so I am trying to figure out if I can find and burn hi-rez downloadable music for that player. I have no real desire to change over until the sound quality is at least equal to that of my players.
