I keep seeing articles about the latest and greatest.... "High end" CD player. Now, I genuinely do love physical media as much as the next guy, but if you're listening to actual CDs in a non-portable way, do not buy a new CD player. Buy an old DVD player from the late 2000s at a thrift store.

For most people, that's enough. And if you get a good one, it'll have all the buttons on the front that you want. And if you want the best quality audio... Still get the same dvd player, but also buy a good DAC. SPDIF can carry the lossless audio from a CD, losslessly. That's all you need.
