The music that I like that is missing from streaming is historic recordings (78s) and ethnic music. If they are under copyright protection, one cannot hear back earlier that 1928 recordings without copyright infringement. As to 78s in general, when Marston and Romophone recordings appear on streaming, that would be nice (highly unlikely). The problem with streaming these labels would include the loss of the comprehensive booklets that give recording and historical details concerning the CDs. Streaming is best for new music.
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
I’ve found that the SQ of my red book CDs exceeds that of streaming using the identical recordings for comparison. (I’m not including hi res technology here.)
I would like to stop buying CDs, save money, and just stream, but I really find I enjoy the CDs more because of the better overall sonic performance.
I stream with Chromecast Audio using the same DAC (Schiit Gumby) as I play CDs through.
I’m wondering if others have had the same experience
