Making me think as to the last time I used a dedicated cd player....probably 15 years ago. I just use whatever dvd or bluray player I have in the system and these days just rip a cd on receipt and play the file and not the disc itself (except for SACD which I can't rip with my setup). I think I still have my old Sony changer in the closet, probably still works just fine....might have to put it in play just for the heck of it..
