brayeagle: you will be stuck with what they have. But they have more material than I could find space to store on CDs. Tidal has a fairly decent assortment, but individual recordings can be tough to track down. I look them up on google, then search for whatever performers name the album is listed under (usually the soloist, sometimes the conductor, rarely the composer). A little rough. So far, Idagio has been a more pleasant searching experience.
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

lalitk1Just had a listen to the samples, and you can hear on the samples the DR site is right, it wasn’t compressed too much at all also done by "Blue Note" they don’t compress. Sounded good I might get it S/H on CD https://www.allmusic.com/album/doin-allright-mw0000200382 Just bought this double of him from Blue Note new for $20aud with yours and "A Swinging Affair" could be remastered. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dexter-Gordon-2-For-1-Doin-Allright-A-Swingin-Affair-CD-2-Blue-Note-NEW/...
