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

rvpiano, LPS stands for linear power supply. The idea is they can be an upgrade from the standard, cheap switching power supplies normally included with many devices from the factory. 

Good thread. I'd like to upgrade my streaming equipment at some point but don't want to spend a fortune on pieces which might not offer much bang for the buck. Best of luck!
