at an ultra high end level. ( over 20KUSD) I was surprised to see TAD introduced a new CD/SACD player last year even.
I don't think they are going to have a lasting or revival power of a turntable because the laser has a finite life span. Once it's gone, you are left with a boat anchor.
I still enjoy my CD players (including my 14 year old Krell kps25s ) because there are a ton of new classical music CD releases which are not available as a download just yet.
I am not sure if a 500$ DAC will beat yet another 500$ CD player. ( My guess is that neither sound all that good. But maybe I did not try the *right* 500$ DAC and a CD player )
From my experience, a good digital in any form, hasn't been cheap.
Speaking of a dying format, I still use a minidisc for travel but my Marantz recorder finally died and can't replace it now. :(
