I just recently bought a Cambridge Audio CXC Transport and CA DacMagic 100 specifically to revisit my CD collection. I love it. I also listen primarily to Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, and Progressive Death Metal. A lot of fantastic new British, Norwegian, Polish, French, and U.S. bands are entering these genres, and they don't have the funds to press vinyl. CD's give me a way to support them besides just streaming. Many are not on Tidal, so CD's or the band's downloads are the only way to get physical or semi-physical formats.
Rediscovery
Being a member of the “streaming revolution” for some time now, I’ve barely listened to my large CD collection (I’ve listened to records because I acquired a new analog setup). Several thousand CDs have been lying fallow. This is partially due to mobility issues (although records are more demanding,) and the convenience and lure of listening to new music, Now, I’m delving into my CDs and discovering treasures long forgotten. Although it’s a little more effort, I find it very much worth it. It’s like refinding old friends. Very rewarding.
Any of you having this experience?
