Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player

I just added a CD player (again) to my vinyl system, I have been away from CD's for a couple of years. My reasoning is that even though CD's are on their way out there was a long run and as they become less popular there will be a lot of used CD's for years to come. I find that I like vinyl and CD's, depending on the recording.

I don't see me going computer based unless I'm forced. I love searching various venues for good used lp's and cd's. It's exciting when I stumble on to a great find. I find it hard to comprehend the thought of downloading all of this music as being fun. There's no fun in searching online for music. Sounds like a lot of wasted time in front of the computer. I don't spend much time in front of it, nor do I spend much time in front of the television. I have a cell phone I use to make/receive calls, that's it, no email, no texts, no internet. I guess I'm a dinosaur.

Well Rega has new models coming in 2011... new Apollo and Saturn, so not dead for them just yet.

is the ps audio pwt a poor man's server ? if so cd and high res dvr still has viability.

i use the pwt fed into my minimax dac (yes, $750 and chinese). i prefer it to my ps audio pwd.

the dac accepts high rez formats.

Get a Simaudio Moon series Equinox SE series CD player (I think there's still one on here for a grand) and you won't need one costing 5-10K. I got one MINT for $800.00 last month from a dealer and can't beleive how much better it sounds after replacing a Sony and a Linn that I was very happy with. I am mostly into using a Turntable, but like my cd's again. If you get a chance to hear Linn's DS systems, you'll understand that maybe the cd players are on their way out, but considering the prices of them, it may take a while. (It's not the cost to me, I'm just cheap) Good luck to all.
