Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?

If you are renting your music from Qubuz, etc @ $20 mo.(for now) then streaming MAY be the better route with a good dac. However, IME playing your own music from a HD is ripe with problem usually due to network and software issues.
I have 200mbps internet connection, top tier router, 3 Ter. HD with at least 1 Ter, of FLAC & WAV files, & new computer. I bought my 1st com,puter in 1991 and my 1st stereo 50 yrs ago. Still, I've had nothing but trouble.. So a $2K streamer/Dac has sat idle for 2 mos. due to frustration.
Thankfully I have a Theta Miles CDP which sounds excellent. Plus vinyl. I'm ready to try some more software for the streamer soon.

In the US, I'm paying just $12.49 month with a one-year deal. Otherwise, it's $14.99/monthly if all you want is streaming.

I have ripped my >600 CDs to my music server (Small Green Computer), and my Rega Apollo II CD player sits idle most of the time. It's a great player for the money, and will remain in the rack as a backup in case the server goes down, and to play new CDs I get before I rip them.

Thanks @cleeds 
I assume this is HD FLAC streaming?
Still I have plenty of music on the HD. I'll get the streamer working but its frustrated me to the point that I had to walk away for a while.

I copied all of my Cd's (6000+), Hi-Rez SACD's DVD-A's to my hard drive. Today, I play those files and others from Qobuz through my Lumin X1.

The only spinner left is my Oppo 205.
