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?

From the point of view of cost, if you happen to own thousands of CDs and you don't mind ripping them to a server, all it costs you is time (I did mine while watching TV in the evenings) rather than fees for a music service (I ripped well over 4000 CDs).

OTOH, if you are always wanting to keep up on current music, the services would have an advantage unless you can borrow CDs from your local library to rip.
