The CD is Dead
What to Look for in High-Performance Audio in 2020 Let's start with a little history. CDs, which have been with us since the early 1980s, ushered in the era of digital audio, replacing vinyl as the dominant source of music distribution. And CDs are still a high-quality audio source, featuring uncompressed full dynamic range sound. In the current world of digital audio, the CD started it all. But the world has been inexorably moving beyond physical media, both in audio and video. Today a massive amount of music is being consumed over streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more. It's difficult to ignore the incredible convenience of dialing up your favorite artists and albums with just a couple of taps on a screen or even a voice command. No CD player can do that. If there has been a knock on streaming, it’s that the quality has not been up to the level of the venerable CD. Most streaming services use compressed formats like MP3 and AAC, which remove some of the dynamic range of the sound. But streaming is evolving too. It used to be that if you were a diehard about audio quality, you would eschew streaming for physical media like CDs and vinyl. But audiophiles can rejoice, as higher quality audio is here with all the convenience of downloads and streaming. If you’re itching to ditch the CD in your high-performance audio system in Lake Mary FL, read on to learn why it’s going to be a great time to do it in 2020 – or even now. Read More
