CD transport vs.streaming

“Why can’t we simply accept the coexistence of Redbook CD playback and digital streaming. Does every audio decision have to devolve into yet another pissing contest?

Thanks for your post but I think you completely miss the point of this discussion. This isn’t a discussion about CD vs SACD or DSD vs PCM:-) 

“Is there even a way to stream DSD? Download, yes, but streaming?”

@ericgeer

The major advantage with DSD downloads, once downloaded; one can ‘stream’ DSD file without the need of any additional hardware. The whole point of streaming is to eliminate a disc player.

As clever as it sounds, I am trying to understand the ‘need’ for a device like D.BOB for someone who already owns a SACD and Universal players. I would appreciate some clarification, thank you!

@ericgeer

Thanks for the clarification. It appears the D.BOB is designed for end users with universal transport players with subpar internal DAC’s.
