Personality

Nope rvpiano love 2 stream

Loss of personality and

uniqueness implies a loss of ability to decent differences in attributes of musicality between recordings and recording engineering techniques.   I responded in my previous post. Loss of something familiar (something we grew up with) is different, understandable, and stems from cognitive bias.  There are again two general camps.  Those preferring the distortions associated with analogue playback and those preferring the distortions from digital playback.  In the early days of digital, I was of the vinyl camp due to the unlistenable high end distortion I perceived from digital playback.  Now, with DACs and recording engineering improvements, I prefer digital.   Yes, the audible distortions are different.  But add the convenience of streaming, I prefer digital playback.  

Interesting! it seems there is a minimal amount of albums...

26  albums of Banerjee is a good score...

5 albums of Haydn quatuors on 13 not so good...

And we must pay for many sources no ?

At least, Tidal, Quobuz, Spotify which else ?

People here seems in general above average for budget and money...

It is not my case....It is why i dont stream at all ...Anyway i am not limited by this fact...

 Thanks for your time and research ....I am surprised by the 26 albums of this sitar player ...

@mahgister just fyi, a quick search shows Qobuz has 5 volumes of the Tacet Auryn Haydn recordings (Op. 17, 50, 54, 55 & 76) and in better than CD quality (96kHz/ 24 bit depth).

And as for Nikhil Banerjee, Roon shows that between TIDAL and Qobuz  (my only sources — and I didn’t check to see if there is complete overlap or not) there are 26 albums, 2 singles/EPs of his and 1 compilation in which he is included.   

OP, 

+1 on @jsalerno277 

It sure sounds like you feel something is missing on streaming. Sounds like you are saying it is missing some emotional connection... relative to the other formats. If they sound different, it is not the media it is the components.
