Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?


I want to upgrade my digital side … (currently Bluesound Vault 2i feeding the DAC of Oppo 105) … plan to spend around $2k … since I’ve ripped all my CDs to the Vault, thinking of spending it all on a DAC, and retire/sell the Oppo while it still has some value. I do have a few older CDPs I could retain as backup, but not sure why I would ever need.

Alternatively, was considering a better combined CDP/DAC like a newer Marantz or Yamaha … upgrades DAC performance some, and a reliable spinner for quite a few more years … but I have very few SACDs, so feeling like this would be the tail wagging the dog.

In what direction have you been migrating?

Thanks @cleeds 
I assume this is HD FLAC streaming?
Yes, it works out to $12.49/month if you choose to pay annually. ($149.95), @artemus_5 . I'm in the US. Details here.

If you are renting your music from Qubuz, etc @ $20 mo.(for now) then streaming MAY be the better route with a good dac ...
In the US, I'm paying just $12.49 month with a one-year deal. Otherwise, it's $14.99/monthly if all you want is streaming.
