"Yes, if you are talking $6K products, then I am sure they are still good (they have to be good)."Not necessarily. There's plenty of $6K crap out there. I'm just saying that it seems that you can't make a really good sounding one that's also durable for much less than that.
That's not to say you can't make bad ones for that price too! I would not equate price with quality but I would be suspicious of CDP's that don't cost around that much.
"Sure, the new players usually sound better than the old ones, and with a lot more features, but I rather have something that works longer."Well again, 'the new players' covers a lot of ground. I've had some 'new players' pass through here in the $5-7K range that stank and were already failing, software in particular, as you say.
I can't generalize because I don't keep track of much gear these days. But I do know that the good ones I've heard that also seem durable cost at least that much; and some cost more.
