Opinion
There ’s long been doom and gloom about the sales of strong-arm medium in any market , and yet , companies still continue to support physical media like Cambridge Audio with its Evo CD and Denon with itsDNP-2000NE .
While physical medium is n’t exactly palmy compared to where it was many , many yr ago ; there are still signs of life that there ’s a market to ply for . And with CD players supporting stream mathematical function such as apps , they become a hybrid of digital and physical reality , extend appliance and flexibility .
Perhaps the most telling sign is the cost . None of these new standard candle players are what you ’d call low-cost , which hint the market being chased is one that ’s sometime and more moneyed . That ’s all well and good to set ashore up the nowadays , but what about the hereafter ?
