Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: No - for the reasons I already mentioned

No they don't for those of us who don't want a computer (in the generally accepted definition of the word) in their music systems. I don't need (not want) a "computer" in my system - I want a hi fi box that simply does these jobs without me having to know the first thing about software.

No need to relegate CD players into Vintage - people are still playing millions of CDs and people are still buying new CDPs - and some manufacturers (eg Mark Levinson) are still bringing out new CDPs.

Keep Digital for digital HiFi equipment - keep Computer for those who want to do their own things with computer-based systems. Then perhaps we won't have so much bile being thrown at those (using Digital) who plan to spend $???? on their streamers or servers.
