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

I just signed up for IDAGIO.  I can't put it down!  This thing is going to ruin me.  For three nights in a row I have been up past my bedtime listening to music.  I think that anybody who is into classical music should give it a try!
I tried every possible way
With different types of equipment 105D / REGA DAC
NIAM DAC .......
All PLAC file DSD WAV

No one sounds better than CD 16./44.1
The closest to WAV is also in the form of a file and also in the form of CD burning
Closer but does not have the sound of a CD

In two complete player shapes such as SA-11 S1
Or NAIM DAC
 + Transport COX connection is better than optical audio
DENON DCD-3560 An amazing transport
Only {also as an amazing solo player but a different story}
Sounds better than any file
Attack ... Depth / Height / Stage Width ... Timber
And more rhythm and playing are not all together
But one next to the other and as if each one is playing solo.

Nice experience to get the sound of my basic equipment ...  needs thousands of dollars
So I already have thousands of CDs
Which I think sounds better than Strimermer  ....
Maybe I was annoyed a few but that's the truth

The problem is your digital equipment.  Makes all the difference.  What software are you using for FLAC playback?

+1 The J-Test is a pretty conclusive stress test. No jitter artifacts is a pretty strong indication that jitter is not going to be a problem. I have pointed this out to Steve before but he ignores this fact (for obvious reasons).
