Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming

@audioengr

You are talking about measuring the picoseconds worth of jitter (which does need to be in the MHz region). I am talking about doing a J-Test and finding out how the jitter will affect the passband after being reduced with a DAC, which would show up as any added noise to the waveform. It’s the same test Stereophile uses. I do not know the psec equivalent, but it is stated as worst case scenario, and when paired with even a cheap-ish DAC like the Topping D50, any jitter with using the CCA via optical was reduced to below -130dBFS, much lower than any residential noise floor.

I just signed up for IDAGIO.  I can't put it down!  This thing is going to ruin me.  For three nights in a row I have been up past my bedtime listening to music.  I think that anybody who is into classical music should give it a try!

I tried every possible way
With different types of equipment 105D / REGA DAC
NIAM DAC .......
All PLAC file DSD WAV

No one sounds better than CD 16./44.1
The closest to WAV is also in the form of a file and also in the form of CD burning
Closer but does not have the sound of a CD

In two complete player shapes such as SA-11 S1
Or NAIM DAC
 + Transport COX connection is better than optical audio
DENON DCD-3560 An amazing transport
Only {also as an amazing solo player but a different story}
Sounds better than any file
Attack ... Depth / Height / Stage Width ... Timber
And more rhythm and playing are not all together
But one next to the other and as if each one is playing solo.

Nice experience to get the sound of my basic equipment ...  needs thousands of dollars
So I already have thousands of CDs
Which I think sounds better than Strimermer  ....
Maybe I was annoyed a few but that's the truth
