nice!

"CD playback done right sounds very satisfying and can be better overall than some LP gear."

My take - a good cd player, including low cost portables, sound better to my ears than most vinyl playback systems regardless of cost. On the other hand I would take a my favorite TTs (example - wall mounted P3) with a nice cartridge (example - dyna 20xl) and phono section (example - dyna p75) over any CD player I have ever heard.

I get blown away at how good low cost Redbook CD can be - but it's not going to replace vinyl in my system.

"Hi-rez digital (24/192 or greater) will eventually replace LPs."

All I can say about this is that SACD had the potential to do so but didn't. But I think 24/192 might have an advantage because it fits on current and proposed multi-media formats - not sure if the same can be said for DSD.
