Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?

I run my cd player into my streamer dac. It improves the sound a bit. Plus the coax output makes a difference rather than using the rca output 

I still play CD's because the better quality ones still sound great.  Of course you need a first rate CD player to get the most out of them and that can be costly.  

Nothing beats streaming for convenience and its sound quality continues to improve. I do wonder given the fast pace of technology how long it will be before streaming is replaced.  

• I buy physical media because streaming screws over the artists and only lines the wallets of the streaming companies.
• I buy physical formats because I like to own something, and also appreciate the physical design. If available, I get the special physical edition, signed covers, etc.
• I buy CDs if the work is not available on vinyl.
• I buy cassettes if that is the only physical format.
• I buy files if that is the only format.
• All CDs are digitized and on a Roon server.
• I have a few records, including some new pop/rock, that are not available on streaming (e.g., Videotraum's "Ebbe//Flut"). I don't want to be limited to what I listen by what is available on a streaming platform.

Not because of better sound quality, but my CD collection includes content that Qobuz does not. Unless you have a high-quality CD/DVD drive, economical digital transporters like the MXN10 can easily outperform it.

@soix im not sure i fully buy the noise argument. Along those same lines, what about noise from signal transmission within servers at Tidal, transmission to my house etc? The McIntosh CD transport is the shortest and least tampered-with signal IMO. I’ve heard plenty of streamers including on my own speakers (Wilson Audio) at the dealer and to my ears, it’s inferior to CD and vinyl.
