Is the digital signal of a server like Tidal of higher quality than that of a CD?

According to GoldenSound over at YouTube, you will never know if what you're hearing via Tidal is HighRes or upsampled Redbook. His investigation goes into great depth on the MQA rip off and Tidal doesn't come out looking all that good as a result.

The video is almost 40 minutes but once you start, you won't be able to stop listening.

CDs are far from dead. What is dying is computer audio as streaming has taken over.

As long as there are CDs and LPs to play, they will stick around for the foreseeable future.
