Streaming vs Physical Media


I have a decent digital front end with a Lumin U1 Mini (w/ external power supply) and a Border Patrol SE dac.  Have some CDs, but no transport.  Would a CD transport sound better than a streamer of similar quality/price?

Well for me have a modest collection of cd's wanted a good player, Went with the Jays version 3.

Got a streamer, Byrston Bdp3 with Qobuz. The upper octaves are elevated as opposed to mid-range on down, Was ready to sell the Bryston stick with CD playback.

For curiosity, I downloaded Tidal, And the difference is Huge. Sound equals or slightly surpasses The cd tansport. really does. Im sold on streaming Tidal.
