Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?


I read that a lot of people on this forum use Tidal etc. Is this ok from audiophile perspective? I mean, do people who use such services actually know what quality is streamed? Don’t you lose all control over your music when you surrender to streaming services?

Tidal is one of the very best but a cheap Deezer or Spotify account give you great ambient music.  It exposes you to so much great stuff and helps you select what you want to hear more of and pick up (or make) the Hi-REs files that will only sound inferior to the best vinyl has to offer.  In other words, streaming services are very pleasing to the ear and help you know what you want to hear more of!!!
