Thought you would never see one of these again did you? Seems vintage-style players are making a come back and why not the CD Player? NINM Lab's portable player ($150) is one of the most convenient ways to play the latter. Inspired by classic jewel cases and '90s design trends, it has a squared-off transparent design that allows for viewing the disc as it spins. It has Bluetooth 5.0 and lets it wirelessly stream audio to headphones, earphones, and speakers; it also has a 3.5mm output and comes with a magnetic secondary lid with a built-in speaker that turns it into a miniature boombox. It runs on two AA batteries, has a Micro USB port that can juice up rechargeable batteries (not included) or power the unit, and has a built-in magnet for attaching directly to metal surfaces. So pull out your old CD collection and let the music play!
Time to take control of all your music across your entire home with the Nativ Music System (MSRP $1599). At the heart of the system is the Nativ Vita, a standalone music player that can access songs from built-in storage, Apple Music, Spotify, and most other streaming services, or from your local network, and let you browse them easily with its 11.6-inch touchscreen. It even has the capacity to hold a 4TB hard drive or two 2TB hard drives. It delivers bit-perfect audio to connected equipment, supports playback of DSD, DXD, and PCM audio files, lets you stream music videos to your TV over HDMI or Google Cast, and has a dedicated output stage to remove noise and jitters from the signal. It's made by hand from high-grade aluminum, Asahi glass, and solid American Oak or Walnut, and performs even better with the company's matching Wave DAC and Pulse power supply.
