Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?


I am 100% invested in vinyl, but want to improve my digital equipment chain.

Once I’ve upgraded my streaming equipment, why purchase a quality CD/SACD transport?

Is there a large enough subset of music that sounds better via optical media?

I just purchased the PS Audio SACD transport.  Primary reason was I had several hundred SACD discs that I could not play.  I use a Terminator Plus with Gaia and MacMini.  Very happy with purchase but agree with those who say it's an easy decision if you can afford the extra bucks.  As to SQ in my system I will say my vinyl rig still produces best sound.  Recording quality is key and does vary with media. Its fun to compare various playback options and sometimes CD's beat streaming. I will say rebook can hold its own with high res formats including DSD.  Lots of fun to have various input options as mood dictates.
