@kennyc I think what holds me back, is the huge investment, sorry I should say money spent, on my current system and library of CDs and Vinyl build up over the years. If I do add streaming, it will be a DAC-less unit and I will use my Esoteric K-01XD SACD player for the DAC portion. When I see the cost of high end streaming units, I struggle with the concept of adding more money to my system.

@bigtwin - yeah, it’s a monthly subscription commitment. Running thru your esoteric as a DAC would be fine, you just need a streamer. |
I began buying CDs when they were introduced in the early 80s (vinyl before that). I have amassed a large collection of primarily classical CDs. When iTunes came along, I started buying files as well as CDs. I have ripped most of the CDs at this point, but I also have many large box sets of classical music which I am also ripping. So...I still listen primarily to the CDs that have not been ripped yet was well as files. I just can't get into streaming, probably because I've been collecting music for some 55 years. Old habits die hard, although I do listen to Qobuz as a discovery tool. |
