Where does music come from that streams?

If I was creating my own streaming company, would I reproduce songs from a CD or from a record? So when I listen to my streaming source, qobuz, where do they get the music I listen to? Does the music come from master tapes? Well that would seem to be a pretty good place to get it

Sometimes I wonder, a particular song on qobuz doesn’t sound very good and I know I’ve heard it better in the past. And most stuff sounds pretty good and comparable to other sources.

@pwerahera:  

Thanks for the suggestion.  I am going to purchase this Gene Ammons LP.  I haven't heard this one.

Also, I have a really nice Pioneer Elite BDP-09 unit that I use exclusively as a CD transport that sounds great.  I use my Aurender unit to stream via Quboz also and I also have a really nice Analog Turntable/Phono Stage. 

Using a CD on my transport directly to my Audio Research DAC 9 compared to the same music steamed from Quboz via my Aurender unit, the CD sounds slightly better.  Interesting.

But, when I play the LP it stills sound better than the CD and streamed music.

Don't get me wrong.  All sound wonderful.  Just saying.  Unfortunately, I'm starting to get lazy and stream more that using the CD transport and the turntable. 

Nope, as I'm writing this, I'm going to get in better shape and get up and play some LPs more. 

enjoy all.
