Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"?

With the rise in hi-res services (such as TIDAL and Amazon HD) and an ever-expanding selection of portable gear (HiFiMan’s DEVA headphones being just the latest tech to be introduced), has streaming finally come of age for the audiophile market?

Roon provides Qobuz and Tidal via Ethernet to Ayre QX-5 Twenty then balanced analog through KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty to KEF Reference 1s.  Makes me a happy camper.  I rarely spin anything anymore; DX-5 DSD and Thorens TD 124 sit idle.

Streaming through Qobuz and Tidal via Roon has become my only source of music and the SQ is incredible, off the chart.
