CD or Streaming... am I missing out?

I listen to CD in my headphone office system. Use a Theta Compli transport and a very nice and pricey tube 16/44 DAC. Have thought about a streaming capability and all its benefits but am both limited by SPDF and by 16/44 only. I also love the analog sound of my tube DAC. Does streaming sound far surpass CD? Am I missing out?

I would like to share my experience:

There is no difference between playing direct from CD or ripped flac file. I do not feel any difference.

1-If you stream directly from Tidal or Qobuz via wifi instead of using PC and specific music software like ROON, the result is very disappointed. It is necessary to use PC + Software

2- I am using Pioneer N30 streamer connected to Integrated DAC/Amp Hegel 360 and I can taste the same quality as CD player

I have Sonos Faber Olympica iii
