What is really the purpose of streaming??


What is really the main purpose on streaming?? Is it just a big convenience to have music and artists at your fingertips? Is it that you get a better sound than cds? What if you have a cd player with an exceptional DAC built in like the Rega Saturn R . To me when cds came out i never looked back on my LPs. I thought cd playback was the best. Now i hear alot of streaming talk. Can someone clarify this to me ?

I simply cannot get enough!!!! I’m streaming via tidal and room and I’m on a musical oddessey every single day- Quite honestly, I can’t wait to get to my office to fire up the hifi- As a kid in the 80s I had tons of albums and cds, and I still do- and high end gear to play them on.  I just have no time or desire to go that route any longer when a daily audio acid trip is available on line streaming cd quality stuff. I can span Pantera to YO YO Ma in the same day- I’m listening to stuff I would never have found otherwise. I’m not much of a religious guy but when I first got into Pandora it was like a gift from god because real cool tunes and genres I had never heard would just flow into my world- unfortunately Pandora sound quality doesn’t cut it in my office system but none the less, streaming is just where it’s at for me- Between my hifi set up and Netflix/you tube etc, I’m ready to blow up my cable box and just stew my life in cool rock and roll stuff-
