Well, from the OP…
I don't have a streamer and hate to say never
That doesn’t sound like someone who’s at least not open to new info along with getting thoughts on CD players versus a separate transport and DAC. Nobody here is trying to force streaming down the OP’s throat but rather just provide some info that might be useful down the road. All was fine until you decided to unfairly diss streaming without even knowing what you’re talking about. Added info is rarely a bad thing here, but unsolicited disinformation is counterproductive and should be called out as such. And yeah, I’m sure looking forward to other folks’ thoughts on CDs being a better way to discover new music than streaming. Ha!
