Some ideas are just bad. From "shall we bring back dinosaurs from fossil DNA?" to "shall I go down into the cellar of this spooky house to investigate those noises alone?", there are plenty out there. But wise heads don't always prevail, so when Moondrop thought to bring back the portable CD player, it made sure to bring on board an engineer that had worked on Sony's original Discman. This time around, it's called the DiscDream and it's a lot more high specced than the retro portable CD players you might be remembering.
This isn't the first time we've seen old audio tech brought back to life. Fiio brought the Walkman back at CES last month. But while I'm someone who loves retro tech, I'm also old enough to have experienced its downsides first-hand – and portable CD players were rubbish because CDs and motion don't go together. We don't have vinyl decks in our cars for similar reasons.
