I hate to pick a quarrel on yet another subject, but I've never really understood this knock against CDs. The early generation did not measure up to LPs in sound quality, but by now they are quite satisfactory in that department as far as I am concerned, and their lack of surface noise and much greater dynamic range are clear points in their favor. But I guess it's basically a matter of personal preference. (BTW, I listen primarily to classical music and jazz -- but there are listeners in those categories who swear by the superiority of vinyl.)
