The streaming listener has no way of knowing the provenance of a particular recording. Many from the streaming services have been remastered - altered - from the originals. More compression, boosted bass ... if this doesn't bother you, then go ahead and stream away!
CD Alternative
At present I have around 1200 CD's which are played on a Cal Audio/Benchmark DAC 1. I am looking for some guidance regarding the potential use of high res streaming or ripping and having a server. I have no idea which option/equipment to pursue or if there is another option to consider. This all started when I recently went to audition speakers with a few CD's but discovered this was the old fashioned way and instead used a "Roon Streamer" I think. Secondly the Cal Audio is about 25+ years old and the DAC 1 is 16 yrs old. Thanks in advance for your responses as I am absolutely confused with the digital path to take.
