What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it?


I was reading a forum from another site suggesting that streaming was fine for background but not good enough for serious listening. I realize that there are lots of opinions out there but it made me question my source. Currently, I am set up to stream only using Qobuz through a Bluesound node. I have a CD player but no media at the moment. For quality of sound, am I better off with other sources? If so, where do I get them?

Theoretically, the highest quality digital music is DSD 512. I doubt your current equipment can decode it (I am not familiar with the Bluesound Node). Qobuz is actually pretty good, same as Tidal. You can buy digital music on line at places like NatIveDSD and such. In my experience, local music sounds better than streaming in my system (source Melco server and LUMIN X1).
