Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."

Surprisingly, the Sony SCD 1 is still selling used at more than half its price when new. Looks good and built like a tank. Of course, it plays SACDs also -- does that disqualify it as a "CD player"?

What about the Oppos? They do play CDs, but they are better used as Blu-ray players. They seem to have been priced up since the company got out of the business.

I admit I still have a lot of CDs. And I will always want something to play them.

"Why???  It’s like saying I still have a buggy whip, so I want to keep a horse around to use it.  Seriously.  When you can either load your CDs onto a server and/or, better yet, just subscribe to a good music subscription service (i.e. Qobuz, Tidal, etc.) and get virtually all the music on your CDs plus millions of other songs as well for a few dollars a month without leaving your chair, why would you cling to playing a CD one at a time on a CD player?"

I have thousands of CDs.  Don't have time to load them all onto a server.

I've already bought these CDs.  Don't want to pay dollars per month to hear the same stuff that I've already bought.

Good luck with your streaming.  Hope your internet is robust.
