Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

@vonhelmholtz  You laid out the reasons, wise choice in my estimation.

You are very fortunate to own a Neodio Origine S2 Player.  Very sweet.

Which CD player did you own previously?

Happy Listening!

Why?

This is a very profound question.

Let me have a stab:

to play cds, sacds...?

no?

@jafant - In my main system my previous sources were a Mojo Audio EVO DAC and Simaudio 260D CD Transport. I enjoyed listening with them and have moved them into my 2nd system. I don’t stream but if I decide to and want to use my main system the Neodio also has SPDIF and USB digital inputs for that purpose.

Nice second system digital front end! @facten I would love to hear your system someday. Your Daedalus Argos V2s are also most interesting. The Neodio sounded wonderful streaming, but CDs played through this unit were extraordinary.   
Some of the very best digital I have ever heard.
