I don't think streaming, cds, and cd players merit assessing relative to vinyl. Now is the time for DSD or even quad native DSD and down loads. I do have many ripped cds on my hard drive and playing them with upsampling that allows moving the filter well above human hearing, greatly improves the realism of these recordings.
I really don't understand why many would give up realism so they can have music 24/7.
melbguy1, I agree but it is also true of vinyl playback. I still have more invested in vinyl than in digital.
