RE: What happened to discussions of regular CD players

I still love CDs and it's my main source but I'm using a last generation CD transport (Audiolab 6000CDT) connected to a last generation DAC. The DAC has a plethora of options including a surprisingly good sounding Bluethoot input that I use when doing chores in the house or when guests are around; generally, when listening not critically, using Spotify which is "good enough" for background music.
I find genuine audiophile streaming appealing but I'm not ready yet to make the jump. As I read here in there, streaming done right - to actually sound better than CD- isn't that straightforward, it's another rabbit hole and my CD source sounds absolutely great to my ears.
I'm also wondering about the day when there will be a planetary system crash, a black out, a general internet failure or whatever similar; as long as there is still electricity, listening to CDs (or vinyles) will still be possible! Now that's bit far fetched but hey, I watch too many sci-fi movies ^^
