Is the Compact Disc quietly making a comeback?
In this special episode, I’m joined by legendary mastering engineer Steve Hoffman to explore a question many audiophiles are starting to ask again:
Is there a CD renaissance happening right now?
Steve Hoffman—known for his work with DCC Compact Classics, Audio Fidelity, and countless reference-quality masterings—joins me to break down his Top 10 Best-Sounding CDs of all time and explain why these discs still matter in an era dominated by vinyl reissues and high-resolution streaming.
We dig into:
• What makes a CD truly great-sounding
• Mastering choices that separate “good” from “jaw-dropping”
• Why some CDs still outperform vinyl and streaming versions
• Whether the audiophile community is rediscovering the CD format
• And what listeners should be looking for when hunting down the best pressings
This is not a nostalgia trip — it’s a deep, technical, and passionate conversation about sound quality, mastering philosophy, and why CDs may deserve a second look in serious listening systems.
Whether you’re a vinyl-first listener, a digital devotee, or someone rebuilding a CD library, this episode offers rare insight from one of the most respected mastering engineers in the world.
Sit back, turn it up, and decide for yourself:
Is there a CD renaissance?
