The demise of the music CD inevitable?

Hi,

Back on campus, my senior year. Everywhere I look, its all earbuds and cell phones streaming audio. None of my friends would even consider purchasing a CD! I as well almost completely stopped purchasing CD's now that I have lossless streaming from TIDAL. It seems that SQ is not an issue anymore for this generation, its content that is most important and there is no loss of it out there in the streaming world.

@sbank ,
I am curious on how you can rip SACD (DSD layer) to hard drive using Oppo 105/103. Can you please explain?

Hi,
I own an ancient Samsung BD/SACD player and a Sony BD/SACD player and would like to attempt an SACD Rip. However, I found the above procedural link to be a bit confusing, I am running Windows 7 on my PC and my BD/SACD players are hardwired on my LAN. Also, the SACD's I plan to Rip are Hybrid SACD's and all I care about is the two channel layer. Once, if successful, I Rip an SACD to my PC, what exactly is the file format going to be on my PC?

Thank you for the help!

I hope SACD sticks around, as compared to any other source of sound reproduction, nothing beats a good SACD recording in my system. Unlike the traditional CD, which at this time for me is obsolete, I will continue to purchase SACD's from my favorite artists if they are available.
