It's easier to keep it than to toss it

The vast majority of my listening is to FLAC files ripped from cds. I switched to data files about 6 years ago because storing cds in an accessible place was getting out of hand. I keep all the cds in boxes in a closet, in case I ever need them again (which happens occasionally).

But my trusty cd player still sits in the equipment rack. I don't have anything else I would put in its slot. It feeds the same Schiit dac that my FLAC files play through. Every once in a blue moon, somebody brings a cd over and wants to play it. If there's a difference in sound between the cd files and the FLAC files, I can't hear it.

If I outlive the cd player, I doubt I'll replace it.

Happy listening,

Jim
