Having just listened a few times to an album I discovered this morning (Patty Smyth’s It’s About Time https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/patty-smyth’s-it’s-about-time.35622/) which is available only on CD, I suddenly had the very weird thought that maybe I should get a CD transport, and not get rid of my couple of hundred CDs?
I guess I should find an analog thermometer and check my temperature.

I understand…
My Oracle 2000 CD transport is still running and will not be sold any time, many 100 CD‘s are happy about this decision
And always, when the next Roon or Linux update is driving me crazy, I am happy about my CD collection, beeing my best back up.

Ron, as always, great music on CD's or streaming is still GREAT MUSIC.
and that is the bottom line. the format is not the issue. i have my Oppo transport (does not suck) sitting in the other room for when i want to play a CD. rarely pull it out, but have done it. no sane reason to be a format snob.
A couple of others to maybe consider one of the Jay's Audio transports (very good professional and user reviews), or a SimAudio 260DT. I have the latter, now in my 2nd system after I recently purchased a Neodio Origine S2 CD player, it's well built, very good SQ especially using the AES/EBU

I don't know exactly when digital broke the eardrum barrier, probably the last five to ten years or so, but it is quite nice to listen to these days. I still haven't attempted to listen to my 'old school' CDs yet to see if they have 'improved' with the current digital equipment. I suppose I should try that some time. There is one 'Return to Forever' CD that used to be absolutely god awful digital, nothing ever cured it in the past, that would be a good test case.
Alejandro lives in Tijuana. He started his career as a figurative painter and with constant evolution he now paints abstract expressionism, using mixed techniques.

Would you mind signing an affidavit to that effect? Tinka hates that painting, and she can’t really believe anybody could possibly like it.

By a old pionneer dvd 300 is the same like goldmund cd eidos 18 transport.amazing digital output. Only thing they done better housing +add a better power supply transformer
I won’t be using Roon, so I don’t care about all that update mess.
I have to be careful to avoid mission creep. My only purpose with the digital playback capability is to entertain guests. I see as being infrequent the number of times I will fire up the big stereo, peruse the CDs, find some rare 1980s pop CD which I have not long ago replicated on vinyl, and play that CD.
On the CDs, I think I'll just let fate decide their fate. If I have any space left in the newly-designed (one thing actually brand new in the house) LP/tape storage cabinet maybe I'll keep some of the CDs.
On the streaming side Innuos Sense seems like a very nice GUI for controlling Qobuz.
I also will have to get an iPad.
It looks like the new Innuos model of Pulse streamer — no onboard file storage — is perfect for this project.
