RE: "$6000 CDPs are a thing of the past"...on which planet?

You jest, my friend? 10 years ago there were dozens of hugely expensive CDPs on the market and some manufacturers actually sold them in reasonable numbers. Not now. There are still several on offer, but how many are recent designs? And how many actually find new buyers? Very, very few, I would suggest. Any why? There are betters ways to store and distribute music digitally than on CDs. More and more people are storing their music on hard drives and although most use Mickey Mouse PC systems to process these stored files, there are other far better and easier ways of getting the files processed and sounding as good or better than from $6000 CDPs. That’s why Linn for example are getting out of CDP building altogether – they sadly have no future in high-end systems.
