Streaming? I know nothing about it, questions as to sound.

Would like to hear any knowledge/experience you have with streaming. What are the sources and units used to play it...as in: is the sonic quaility audiophile/high-end or is it of FM or less quality, and is it full frequency/dynamic range or compressed? Thanks for your input.

As far as audio quality, only Tidal and Qobuz offers lossless CD quality or higher resolution which is definitely better than FM.
Streaming from Rhapsody and Spotify is compressed and equivalent to FM Stations.
