Sales of Digital download outstripped CDs a few years ago (2008/2012 depending on what you read and where you are) and an awful lot of vinyl now sell will digital downloads, which partly accounts for the rise in vinyl sales.
What's your view on sound quality of ripped cds vs the CDs played in a CD player - it's alljust one and zeros surely.

Re: Durio Dual Mono
I'm still of the opinion that a properly ripped CD (EAC or another secure ripping program) sounds more solid and lifelike than being played on a CD player. There is more depth, dynamics and detail. Then you can tell how much trouble a CD player has in constructing an audio signal from what data it has been able to get off the disc.
Things like oversampling and error correction are just trying to make up for the fact that a CDplayer doesn't get all the music information off the CD which a securely ripped music file does have.
