My streamer and vinyl are very comparable (see my UserID for systems). Sometimes streaming sounds bettering than vinyl. Sometimes vinyl better than streaming. Both sound incredibly musical and enjoyable. I own 2,000 vinyl albums and 2,000 CDs (which are also ripped and available on my two streamers).

Is it a difference in sound quality on your system? Nostalgia? Just kind of fun fiddling with a disk? For me, it is nostalgia. Spinning a disk (vinyl). The sound quality is the same.

If you enjoy the process, that is the point, enjoy the pursuit. In general, on my system, if a recording is available on SACD the high Rez file is available on Qobuz so, my system will reproduce that sound quality. Also, I’m getting old, and not getting up is good.
