In Reply to: RE: Why even have a CD player? posted by JimC on December 19, 2016 at 09:39:31:
I have one in my system. A Cambridge CXN music server.
I load-up an external hard drive with all my digital music (I still buy CDs because if they are a year old or more, they are mostly super cheap) and plug it in to the CXN's USB port.
I do not use wi-fi or any connection to my computer. Just the hard drive. The CXN does the rest. It shows me everything from A-Z, and it also lists playlist files I have made.
I can hit random, or I can select any album or any song quickly. It's all so easy. Never have to leave the chair to look through a CD rack. All my CDs are in boxes in the attic. Don't even know why I keep them after I have ripped them.
I had a really nice Denon DCD-1650AR CD player which worked really well as a transport for my Lite Audio DAC-60, but the convenience of the music server won out. The Denon offered a marginally better sound than the CXN (the difference is very subtle), but when I want the best sound, I listen to vinyl.
