Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming

You seem to be firmly in the wire directionality camp based on your comments regarding Audioquest Hurricane power cord and Audioquest USB cables, what with “much more details and layers,” as you say. Care to elaborate on wire directionality?

@bo1972 :" 2nd best and less is only made for the born losers in this world. We take care of all our clients."

Nice. Doubt I'd be one of your clients.

You need to learn to look further............why you should sell products which are not the best in each single price tag?

If I buy something I want the best quality for the money I spend. This is what we give all our clienst. I can garantee you that most people love a honest advice.

I always ask new clients? What do you prefer? Do you want the truth or you want us to tell you what you would like to hear?

We believe in the truth. When people read overhere that they did not choose the best option. It is often that people react negative. They would have liked that their choice was the best or at least a good one.

And again you need to learn to look further. When you really want the best, we always and only create the best possible.

We have many clients all over the world who are happy every single day with their system. Because we are extreme perfectionists and want the best for each individual client. When we would not give a honest or best advice you will loose your trust.

We are very loyal and dedicated to all our clients. They understand that with all our knowledge and insight we brought them to a much higher level than they ever have been before.

It is our duty and task to create systems which are used each single day. What will connect them to their music. We create sound and this makes us able to bring people a lot more close to the emotion of music. You only can create a high level in realism and emotion when you do a lot of research in audio all the time.

We work for our clients. And we put a lot of effort and energy to give them the best result possible. This is the only way people will stay happy with their system each day they want to use it.

Based on your comments above, so to you Lumin seemed to be the absolute best (best of the best) or best in its price range? Cause there are other excellent options out there that offer highly musical sound with excellent musicality, musical drive, rhythmic drive, textures, textures in layerings as you have repeatedly said.
Naim Audio, Linn (especially the latest generation of Linn Klimax DS with Katalyst DAC architecture), DCS, Esoteric, Vitus Audio, MSB Technology, MBL, Tidal, Chord, CH Precision all make excellent digital front end source components that offer highly musical sound that can convey the musical emotions of the artists or musical compositions.

However, when it comes to movies, physical bluray discs or physical 4k UHD discs when played back through good quality 4k UHD bluray disc player such as the Oppo UDP-205 will always have superior audio & video qualities compared to streaming movies from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Vudu, etc.
