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.

an effective tweak. I did an A/B comparison with a couple of CDs to streaming 44.1/16 and I could no longer discern a difference.

Thanks for this update,
I had a tech geek here in new orleans that **swore** I should dump cdp's and go Stream,
**Its soooo much better resolution**, I  just shuged it off.
Yesterday arrived the chinese 
~LKS Class A/JFET descrete opamps,~~
WOW, 
a  pair of duals @ $50/each , just to try them out,
WOW
I  immediaely order a  2nd pair, as the Jadis JS2/Mark2 takes 4 duals. 
I had a  pair of USA made duals and a  pair of chinese high tech descrete duals. 
These new JFET( not sure what this means, but they are really cool looking, even Richard Gray  was impressed = which is a surprise, as his stance is TI makes the best, due to huge lab team/superior engineers), 
WEll let me say just pop in a  single SA100  Descrete or these Dual JFET's, and your player will out shoot any newest DAC or Stream. 
Douk Audio sells duals and  singles  SA200/duals, and SA100/singles.
I passed up Douk and bought another model, the LKS Class A JFET.
Not sure which is superir, my guess is  both are close in performance,  but I think these LKS JFET's are the best bang for opamps.
