Already got back into hi-fi thanks to vinyl? This CD player and Bluetooth streamer combo is the perfect next upgrade, especially if you're into head-fi

A lifestyle shot of the Shanling CD80 II CD player.
  • Shanling CD80 II is a small hi-fi CD player costing $359 (about £269 / AU$550)
  • 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced headphone outs delivering up to 850mW/32Ω
  • Stream LDAC over Bluetooth from your phone

You've been told a million times about how wonderful vinyl is, but you hear a lot less about CDs – and that's a good thing, because the relative lack of trendiness means that the cost of good-condition CDs is often a fraction of what you'd pay for the same record on vinyl. If, like me, you like saving money as much as you like listening to music, then a CD player is still a smart addition to your system.
