Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?

So question: my Oppo 105 comes with Tidal streaming capabilities through its app on my iPhone. Would you recommend I try that or get a really good USB and use Spotify from my MacBook Pro into my Hegel 160 integrated? 

Great!

@willemj and @toddverrone: that's my next musical adventure. I love after long while being in a position where I can listen to the music rather than to my system.

@willemj Illusions, by their nature, exist as self-created projections of what the individual wants to see or hear. Thus, you can't destroy what is not yours to destroy.

I've been Tidaling for about a week now, both in my Hegel/Oppo/Acoustic Zen reference system and in my family room Sony/Elac system. It sounds much better than spotify in both and though it doesn't quite match my vinyl rig for sheer detail, I'm perfectly happy with it in lieu of spinning discs, especially when I'm too lazy to actually get up to change discs.
