This is an interesting discussion…I have been focusing on my vinyl collection and had planned on completely ditching my CD collection and rely on a streaming solution…then I had a conversation with someone about how much they enjoy their SACD recordings and I had the opportunity to acquire a Modwright modified Sony SACD player. The player arrived a couple of weeks ago and I am stunned by the sound quality. I have reversed my stance completely (in fact I have ordered about a half dozen SACDs this week) and have been playing CD after CD.
As others have said, I really do like the physical media and the liner notes and, maybe, a bit of the nostalgia as I harken back to when I got into higher end audio as the CD was making its emergence. For me, the CDP is here to stay.
