feckn_eejit Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Fuck.... this barely merits the effort expended to type a witty response....... Guys, he asked what advantage, not how much of an improvement. The advantage is that it would sound a bit different and some people would prefer it, while others wouldn't. You may want some people to prefer it while you may want others not to. I for example that someone preferred my money to owning what is now my SFD-2 MkIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I tried to test, but I couldn't fit a USB stick full of ALAC files in my cd player without opening it. Edit: I made it fit. The CD player is way better. I'd go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The tree has entered my hands, The sap has ascended my arms, The tree has grown in my breast- Downward, The branches grow out of me, like arms. Tree you are, Moss you are, You are violets with wind above them. A child - so high - you are, And all this is folly to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NekoAudio Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Cover flow looks cooler and is faster than flipping through the CDs on your rack.Selling the Marantz will let you buy more music. Or feed your cat.Small children won't look at you funny for using words they've never heard of (e.g. "compact disc").It'll be okay to eat BBQ wings and switch albums without washing your hands.Drog, the music thief, won't have to spend 10 minutes carefully packing 250 CDs into a giant garbage bag.
