PC/external DAC combo sonically outperforms even the best transports, with convenience thrown in for free (i.e. thousands of songs a mouse click away) It also shows that limitation of the Redbook standard was silver disk itself.

Will it be the end of $6000 CD players? I guess not.

First of all, there is P.T. Barnum factor. Secondly, wristwatch market provides good analogy. People do not buy Patek Phillipe and Blancpain to tell time, they buy them for prestige and the pleasure of looking at them.

The same will be happen with high end CD players. They will be bought for pride of ownership reasons, not quality of musical reproduction.
(although they will not be good investment vehicle as premium watches)
