RE: SONY Pro Walkman cassette player

I owned many "Walkmans" when I was younger and none of them came close to the detail, lack of artifacts, and lack of wear of CDs.

The early CD players, particularly the portable ones definitely had issues with harshness, skip protection, and overall reliability. Portable digital has come a LONG ways since then. Modern units have no moving parts and much better DACs then those early CD players.

I would bet my last dollar that in a blind test between the most high tech portable tape player on the planet and even something simple like the Xduoo x2 playing lossless files almost no one would would prefer the portable tape player.
