I own about 1000 CDs but rarely listen to them because streaming is so much more convenient. Kind of sad but a matter of fact. Getting my ass out of my Eames chair, searching my archive, putting it in the player seems so tedious in comparison. I think I’m not the only one
The sound quality from a high quality CD player still is better than steaming
The switch to 48kHz lossless as default totally changed that on Apple Music. I still use my CD players, but mostly via their digital inputs.
No doubt, whatsoever that a high-quality CD player can offer a superb, listening experience. But regarding it being better than streaming: How can this be true if streaming services like Tidal offer files up to 24 bit and 192 kHz, while CD is only 16 bit and 44.1 kHz?
Bits are bits homie and lossless streaming is everywhere now
