Streaming vs Physical Media

Without a large existing CD collection, spending money on a transport is hard to justify. I do have the latter, but I have stopped buying CDs. I stream using Qobuz/Roon, and if I really like a recording, I buy it (in High Rez if possible). With the premium Qobuz subscription, the High Rez recordings cost about the same as a CD and sound better.

@bkeske, congratulations on your Audiolab transport purchase. CD still has a lot going for it and it takes significant work to better CD quality from a streaming system. While I am getting excellent results from high resolution streaming, I have no intention of ditching my CDs - or ripping them  - life is too short for that!
