The streaming revolution.

If you had told me in my early days of listening that one day I would have easy access to virtually the entire recorded music output of mankind mostly in glorious sound and at a cost of pennies per day, I would have thought you a wild futurist. 
This revolution has come with it a predicament of delirious proportion.  What to listen to?  Even If you limit yourself to one musical genre,  the choices seem endless.  It indeed is like a kid in a candy shop for a music lover.
I’m not complaining.  I’m just in awe!

The sound quality of Asset and Qobuz absolutely trounces that of Roon in my system.

Unsurprising. That's a low bar 😂😂🤣

I guess I'm old fashioned and enjoy having the physical disc, and a way to rebuilt my library should my NAS fail.

"I truly pity those who haven’t yet discovered or fully embraced it."

Streaming provides a vast array of content, yet seldom if ever is that content's SQ on par with well recorded and reproduced analogue music.

I reconcile this by noting that so many of the folks who have embraced streaming on AG (e.g. in the hi-fi market) are at the age where significant hearing-loss is a fact of life.  

Sorry, but my sympathy runs in the opposite direction...
