Macspur said:I did say to name but a few; you can include the likes of Arcam, Marantz, Audiolab and Cyrus all still producing CDP's.
Have you seen the price of a high end Linn streamer? give me a solid well built reliable CDP any time and if that's lunacey then I'm happy to be mad.
Don't get me wrong, I can see the merits of streaming, it's just not for me and I wouldn't be so rude as to question another persons mental state for preferring it.

Macspur - you obviously did not get the gist of my reply. I was referring specifically to CD players that cost thousands of quid like the high-end ones you mention. In that case I would go Linn/Naim.
FYI I am currently using a CD player too, until I decide what I will do at year-end. What I will never do is buy another CD player at any price, or iPod based solution ever again. My next solution must allow me to choose and play music from my sofa, at full resolution. And it won't be Airplay or any Airport Express solution either. I am actually looking at a mid-level Cyrus system, where all-in-all will cost a few thousand if funds permit, but I'm willing to save up over a length of time, even if it takes years. And by that time some tasty products will be out there.
