I still have a Sony Discman connected to my garage stereo. I have a couple of cassette Walkmans and an FM Walkman. This unit is really cool though. I'm subbed to the new channel so I'm ready.
This past weekend I found myself in the middle of a 3-day power outage and the first two items I grabbed were my 1990's era Sony Discman and my Kindle to help pass the time away.
There is kind of small avalanche of such products lately. This look as copy of latest fiio but with the same mistakes. Discman feature is obsolete, as a Stationary transport shanling compact cr60 is still much better.
To have physical media and all additional value connected with real medium. Also to play old collections. Cd players are very popular currently. I bought seven models last year.
@trekkis I still don't get it, I still have my portable CD players and thousands of CDs. There's a reason we stopped using them. They're huge, inefficient and skip when you move. And the second the second generation HDD players became a thing they were pointless. Nowadays it takes a few minutes to encode your CD to flac and mp3. I have all of my music on CD but I can't underhand why anyone would want to actually use the physical medium.
As portable Yes, as stacionary No. There is no sense as portable and probably no one is using this way, especially that portable mode in devices like above is lossy, not lossless. There is perfectly sense in stacionary hi end systems. Where buying and listening of full album, is kind of deep ritual, physical, and full spectrum sensoric one. from box opening, tray opening, to box close. Full digital in this case is not the same experience. Music for some people's is simply something more. Some deeper. But if someone simply don't want to understand obvious difference - simply won't understand. Maybe good for him, maybe bad. Regarding modern media and gear - real nonsense would be using of mp3 currently. Or any one bit dac (except tws).

Hell yeah. I still have my Aiwa cassette walkman and Sony discman.
Thank you so much for the continued support Mike!

$300 is insane for this kinda of minimalism lmfao

Full battery power does help lol
I want a mode that will play MP3s at minimal speed so I can watch a CD play something back as skow as 8rpm. (for 48kbps at the end of the disc?)
"Does it come in black?"....
*Bruce Wayne, Batman begins*
I'm digging the recharegable battery on the CD player.
It lasts forever!
No SACD?
Not for $289, manufacturers love gouging for that feature for some reason.

290 $ and no CD-text display? What a waste of money...
I forgot to mention this in the video, but no remote either. So you’re basically forced to a desktop only.
It’s nice but to expensive for what it is.
Why would anyone want a CD player? Or even a portable one?
To play cd's.
@trekkis why would anyone want to do that? I have my massive cd collection in my pocket. Lossless.
