Streaming vs traditional

My son is talking about the "lossless" audio one can stream.  I have a good collection of CD's as well as a couple of TT and LP's with more than than I should invested in both.  (some may say too much, some may say not enough)  Anyway, thought I would come to a relative neutral forum to ask for reviews on the streaming audio.  It kinda reminds me of the Bluray and Betamax wars of years past-no standard version/format yet.  I guess it's relatively in it's infancy with lots of software and format devices on the market.  I love the convenience of CD's and the warmth and ambience of analog.  So-what's up with the streamers?

Mark Walberg recording engineer and founder of AIX Records regularly comments on this very subject on his site RealHD-.com 
And for anyone interested listening to a seminar during a past T.H.E. Audio show I believe you can find it on YouTube titled high resolution audio demystified by Mark Walberg , agree or not I think every bit of what he says is true .

With a recent purchase of PS Audios Direct Stream Memory Player and Dac we have never enjoyed our large collection of CDs and SACDs more then we do now , I can't believe how good well recorded run of the mill CDs sound through the PS Audio however as much as we also enjoy super convenience of music on HI- Res downloads overall we decided to save our money and not support downloads .
