CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming

Is there a general rule about which music will have better sound quality when played on CD vs streaming vs stored on a flash drive?  This assumes they have CD bitrate and HZ.

The first retail stamped cd will have some error correcting, this substitutes the unreadable pit for what came before it be it 0 or 1, so it has a 50% of getting it right.
Not likely. The compact disk system has redundancies built into it. A single unreadable pit doesn't cause an error.
