The demise of the music CD inevitable?


Hi,

Back on campus, my senior year. Everywhere I look, its all earbuds and cell phones streaming audio. None of my friends would even consider purchasing a CD! I as well almost completely stopped purchasing CD's now that I have lossless streaming from TIDAL. It seems that SQ is not an issue anymore for this generation, its content that is most important and there is no loss of it out there in the streaming world.

OP,
You came to this site to investigate about CDs. Do your friends come to this site? You probably have a dedicated system. Do your friends have a dedicated system for music? Point is - how do you care if none of your friends purchased CDs. The CD market is getting smaller, but still exists. I buy CDs from time to time. I love my new Bluetooth receiver, but as gdhal said, playing a CD on a dedicated player provides a much better experience listening to music.
@sbank ,
I am curious on how you can rip SACD (DSD layer) to hard drive using Oppo 105/103. Can you please explain?
