Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming


I’ve found that the SQ of my red book CDs exceeds that of streaming using the identical recordings for comparison. (I’m not including hi res technology here.)
I would like to stop buying CDs, save money, and just stream, but I really find I enjoy the CDs more because of the better overall sonic performance.
 I stream with Chromecast Audio using  the same DAC (Schiit Gumby) as I play CDs through.
I’m wondering if others have had the same experience

@lalitk I very much enjoy looking at your system and how it evolves over time. I know how much thought goes into it and that your amp is $20k not $6K :).

You have helped me out getting my streaming SQ up significantly over the last year and helped me get my entire cable loom in order.

Thank you for all of that!
