Larry...dude...come on, man...some info please.
you get what you give.

whats your system, your music, your growth path with streaming...?

spaghetti, here’s your next wall you can throw yourself against....😉
Sorry about that! Phone died! I have a. Blue Circle Line Stage Older Top of the line! Dual Mono Separate Power Supply! Atma-Sphere 60's Amps! Older Green Mtn. Imago Speakers! 

Had Blue Circle Dac top of line separate power supply and Ml 31.5 at one time! Had to sell due to accident etc
Now using Moddified Oppo etc Thinking that technology has improved quite a bit since that 10 years ago!
Suggest the Bryston BCD-3 spinner.  Like you, I have an extensive collection of RedBook classical CCDs, and the BCD -3 works wonders with them. I really have no reason to resort to streaming..
The BCD-3 has a superb transport and an internal DAC that is the guts of the Bryston BDA-3 DAC.
