Personality

np. That was my less disturbing question.

I also did not believe in Streaming, but, now I love it.  The main reason is because I joined a high end streaming service - Qobuz - aprox. $10 a month. 

I have all individual components, and I started with Vinyl, then finally went to CD, then to SACD...  From there, I ripped all my digital to files -- .wav and .dsf...  Finally, understanding how much improved streaming is today, I decided to join Qobuz and invest in high quality streaming front end and upgrade my ethernet components.  I am using the same DAC for everything and I do not think I can do a blind A/B test and tell the difference between CD/SACD, ripped files, and Qobuz streaming.  

The Qobuz streaming opened up a whole new world of music to me and rejunivated the hobby for me.  It is really fantastic how great streaming CD quality and Hi Rez data sounds on my stereo system.  Recently, it is really the best investment in the hobby I have made.  The time when streaming was not as good in sound quality as CD, SACD, or digital files is over.

 I’m truly sorry you’re disturbed.

Congratulations on you’re discovery!

Thanks ! 

Note:  Although I feel all Digital is about equal now with high quality equipment, I still like the "original analog recordings" on vinyl way better than their later conversion to Digtial.
