More convenient. Portable. Easier to share.
But can your favorite streaming service float? Impress a room full of music lovers? Show Mayor Emanuel’s proposed “cloud tax” who’s boss?

Even if you don’t own a single record, you gotta admit that’s a damn handsome player.

Downside: it ships in December.
Upside: it makes for a great gift.
