Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?

I read that a lot of people on this forum use Tidal etc. Is this ok from audiophile perspective? I mean, do people who use such services actually know what quality is streamed? Don’t you lose all control over your music when you surrender to streaming services?

I have made comparisons to DSD and find that my PCM files are just as good.

I also leave everything in .wav format because I have found that AIFF, ALAC, FLAC and other formats compromise the SQ.

Vinyl sounds better to who? Everyone? Show me the survey.

Don't think I said that it sounds better to everyone?  It was my statement, so that would imply that it sounds better to me.

To the Op...This is a fairly interesting thread with some good points but you SERIOUSLY need to lighten up a little and lose the attitude
