CD v Streamed



Uncompressed CD audio will take about 10.6mb per minute to play, to stream that takes big space and dollars to stream an album, see what your streaming company’s takes mb per minute to stream, find out and post up here.

I hear CD’s are better, I get better dynamic range from CD every time it’s A/B to me, now that could be that the streaming companies are using the "later compressed re-issues" of the same albums, you can find that out here https://dr.loudness-war.info/
Or that the streaming process itself compresses the music to save "streaming size" to save big dollars even if in small amounts.

Here’s a video from the CEO of Disc Makers Pty Ltd, yes he probably also biased because he manufacturers CD’s and vinyl, and is a very bad dancer.

OK you hear opinions.   BFD 
I think that hearing music is the only thing that is important here. Play the best format that you have available and stop fretting. If you hear that a local track sounds better than streaming, it is illogical to stream unless you don't care. Most of the public does not.

OK George if facts is what you want fine.
I want music listening enjoyment.
Sorry to troll your scientific quest.
Please excuse my lack of seeing any purpose except for trying to "prove" that one topology is "better" than another.
With total disregard of which sounds better to the customer.
