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?

Oh man, physical music collections are so quaint.  Roon with Tidal and Qobuz let me explore new music EVERY DAY.  My musical knowledge is growing so quickly these days.  New, old, whatever.  Incredible sound quality if you invest in a good digital setup.  Why would I want to be a slave to my very finite collection?  Sometimes I listen to random tracks, sometimes whole albums, it’s all good!  Bonus feature: a lot less non-recyclable plastic garbage in my house.
@deadhead1000 - oh, the little silver circular things at goodwill?  Those are for music?
