You can take a touch, disconnect the screen and take it out of the case.
You can put that board in a case of your choosing with a 5V power supply
and you now have a headless SB player that can go up to 24/96. The fun
part is going to be the 192 part. The clocks inside run at a high enough

I read 2-3 weeks ago, that very few "pure" stand-alone CD players was
sold in Denmark the last year.
If the trend is the same in other countries, no wonder Linn doesn't
bother to make them anymore.

Not if you use RockBox (and you have an mp3 player that is capable of
running it).

Personally I perfer the stock iPod interface
We'll just have to wait a little bit before the mainstream actors (Sony,
Yamaha, Denon, etc) start making network players too, and this will be
the end of the CD players.
As snarlydwarf and others point out, there are very few people buying
CD players nowadays : most people get multi-format BD/DVD

Of course you'll need to convert the FLAC to mp3 or aac or
applelossless to play on IPOD. But yep, the perfect setup!!!

CD ended for me four weeks ago. I finished converting 752 cd's to flac
files with full backup on two external hard drives. Compared the sound
of my Linn Genki by 75 ohm BNC into a Benchmark PRE DAC vs Squeezebox 3
into the DAC. The Genki sounded great as a player and transport but the

It was 9 years since i bought a CD player, it was retired 5 years ago
when i got my Meridian DVD player and processor.
The CD player is redundant in most cases as it only used as a digital
transport DA is taking place in ht recievers or processors.
A high end dvd is quite ok as disc transport imh

The demise of CD players isn't related to the demise of CD's though.
I retired my CD player when I bought my first DVD player... "hey, it
plays CD's too, why do I need two things in my cabinet when one will do?
One less remote, too!"
The CD sales problem is that most music today has at most 2 "h

Today, probably not. But DVD is dying too. The BlueRay war was a case
of winning the battle, but losing anyway, they vanquished HD-DVD, but
BlueRay disk sales are not what the studios expected.

Here's an idea:
why not a full-size vinyl cover... with a licence inside that lets you
download at 24/96 or whatever
Something for everybody!

Interesting.
It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that you were so cool if you
had a CD player. I got my first one in 1988. That was 21 years ago!!
And then there was the portable CD player - the CD walkman. Then you
were really stylin'.
It all seems so quaint now :-). The portable CD
I'm sure I predicted this a while ago...
