I don't follow this topic, but CD quality is good, better than a LP,
but a good CD player is required, along with a good amp/speakers.

Science has proven that CD:s are also more durable than LP:s. LP:s degrade when you play them, CD:s don't. How much they degrade, I do not know and I also do not know if this is audiophile territory or if a mere human can hear a difference or not.
