Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming

A lot of us are old enough to remember the good old days of radio, and the best part about it was that it was free. Now, we’re being convinced that being our own personal DJ is the way to go and to stream our music, but there’s a catch. All you have to do buy even more stuff that’s not ready for prime time as it’s continually being developed and refined. Then, you need to pay some HOA fees (the streaming service itself and your internet provider).

I’ll stay with my CDs. 😄

All the best,

I connect Chromecast to the Gumby with an optical cable.
i am using a coax to connect CD transport to Gumby.
What can I do to improve the streaming quality.
How do I minimize the jitter from the Chromecast?
I don’t know what a reclocker is or how it connects.

I connect using an iPad.

Never mind my questions.  I think I found the reclocker device I need and how to hook it up.

Forgive my ignorance.

Agreed with all above that CD offers superior playback performance when compared to streaming. For this reason, I think it’s just a matter of time before CD makes a come-back, similar to vinyl.
