The original recording techniques/room/gear makes at least as much difference as the bit/sample rate. I've heard some 16/44.1 releases that sounded phenomenal, and some 24/192 that were merely good. Of course a well engineered master streamed at 24/192 will probably sound better than a CD.
Streaming vs. CD
Is the digital signal of a server like Tidal of higher quality than that of a CD?

CDs are far from dead. What is dying is computer audio as streaming has taken over. https://twitteringmachines.com/computer-audio-is-dead-and-streaming-has-killed-it/ As long as there are CDs and LPs to play, they will stick around for the foreseeable future. All the best, Nonoise |
What is dying is computer audio as streaming has taken over. Darn it, I didn't get the memo about this! Or maybe "computer audio" is something different than what I consider computer audio. I spend a lot of time at my computer(s) and have two full systems with integrateds, DACs, and headphone amps at both. Most of the music I listen to on the computers is streamed through Qobuz or Tidal, which I think sounds great. Oh, both systems also have a turntable in them. And speakers. |
i am thinking of dropping my Tidal subscription but keeping my Spotify just to find some new stuff. if i than hear something i like i will buy a Flac download through Quboz or Band Camp. its just nice to have the file if you are up in Nepal away from the internet, which crashes constantly and i am supporting the Artist |
