Is there a general rule about which music will have better sound quality when played on CD vs streaming vs stored on a flash drive? This assumes they have CD bitrate and HZ.
All true. Copied CDs usually DO sound better than the mass produced originals especially on gold. I rip all CDs for convenience and with my playback setup I cannot ascertain any difference, except maybe the BluNode.
As usual, depends. The better your CD playback equip. is, the better it will sound. A decent streamer and a great DAC will sound better than most CDP’s <$1K. Great streamer usually doesn’t sound as good as a great CDT into the same DAC. Absolute questions around here are deficient.
The only general "rule" in audio is that if it sounds better it is. Knowing what "should" sound better to you doesn’t mean it will.
