Dedicated CD player sales have dropped like a stone for years and there won't be a rebound. Computers can do it better only if the recordings are better - most still are not. It is convenient just as CD was convenient over LP. Better is another matter.

I am not sure why someone would no longer review a CD player - there are 200,000 albums and counting pretty much everything still comes out on CD - it's not even close to being "dead" - wait for it to "be dead" then stop reviewing CD players.
