Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

@waynefia 

I never said anything bad about either , I was just responding to somebody looking down on streaming I guess was his point. 

I am glad you’re not saying anything bad about either format. Nobody’s looking down on streaming either so there’s nothing for you to respond to. In that respect, I have always argued the benefits of having both formats.

Who the h--- cares what somebody prefers, but dont cut peoples’ choices down.

You’re quick to tell people about your preference. Aren’t other people allowed to do the same? Nobody’s cutting your choices down - you’ve done that all on your own. But as I said it’s entirely your privilege to do this.

Excellent post.

My experiences are along much the same lines.

Any differences are more than likely down to the mastering, but the OP was not concerned about sound quality per se.

"OP was not concerned about sound quality per se".

Thanks I realise I  have a tendancy to write from the hip, so I can wander off topic in my ethusiasm I hope we can allow for just a little of that but always respecting opinions and views however much we may feel they are wrong.

Not all TTs are the same. Some are excellent but some are terrible.  The same goes with streamers and DACs. Streaming also opens the door to millions of tracks and artists - the possibilities are endless. I'd rather have a good streamer than a lousy TR. I'm very fortunate to have an incredible Innuos Pulsar and standalone Accuphase Processor/DAC. 

Impossible to resolve rationally because it's in your head. The OP more or less said so.
