Is there a future for Redbook players?

I was thinking of upgrading my CD player and I thought about which direction I should choose, so I decided to do some research. Are separates still the way to go? Are new-fangled, all-in-one players the way to go now? Are redbook players even in production these days?

What about hdcd? I don't have an sacd or dvd-a player, but I can tell you that the HDCD stuff I've heard(Keb Mo , Joni Mitchell, Roy Orbison), have sounded great. The upgraded sound from Redbook titles was very evident.

Redbook is a term for a normal cd. SACD, DVD Audio, and HDCD are different formats that require dedicated players or chips to play. Redbook cds make up 99.9 % of the product out there.
