Getting close to giving up on CD's

I have a mid fi system ( B&W 803D, Rotel amps, Oppo 203 BD, Anthem processor). I set up a NAS drive with the intent to re rip my CD's to highest quality possible but when I purchased the Anthem AVM 60 and the newer Oppo  I tried ROON with hi rez files I had purchased from HD tracks along with a subscription to Tidal. It has been close to a year and I have only gone to my CD collection a few times. Roon plays directly through the Oppo flawlessly. Been pretty happy with quality of the streaming through the OPPO. At this point I am not sure I see a point to re-ripping my collection when I can get CD quality or better with the options above.

Things can only get better with a dedicated DAC, if I go that direction I am not sure I will even keep my CD's unless it is something rare or super obscure.

@mental , the streaming services mentioned do stream lossless files.
Tidal, Qobuz, Dezeer UK all stream CD quality 16/44.1 and hires 24/96. They are subscription services.

@mental  Radio Paradise is an internet radio station that stream various different bit rates, up to FLAC. The high bitrate stream and FLAC stream sound very good. Check it out on any mobile device, desktop, laptop , etc. Just go to RadioParadise.com. Good stuff and it's free. If you love it, it's listener supported, so send them a few bucks.
