Horses for courses, in my view. Where I live, best streaming option is Tidal HiFi (no Qobuz here) and I have a large library of CDs. So for me I still rely on CD (or vinyl) for familiar recordings but use streaming for new things. I run an Accuphase DP 570 which pretty much outshines my Naim streamer. On balance I don't think streaming is better for me than Redbook on my system.
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
I listen to CD in my headphone office system. Use a Theta Compli transport and a very nice and pricey tube 16/44 DAC. Have thought about a streaming capability and all its benefits but am both limited by SPDF and by 16/44 only. I also love the analog sound of my tube DAC. Does streaming sound far surpass CD? Am I missing out?
