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

Trouble is do you have to purchase it first to get all the info?
Your good with that one anyway, as it’s the only version released.

Just 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

Just bought this double of him from Blue Note new for $20aud with yours and "A Swinging Affair" could be remastered.

@rvpiano,

In order to use Aurender Conductor App, you must own and install one of the Aurender music server. The Conductor app only works with Aurender server. 
I used to own various CD players (and DACs - Meridian, Meitner...)

Then I switched to streaming from iTunes and then from a raspberry pi to my Benchmark DAC.

Sounds just as good as any CDs sounded in my system.


Tidal sounds fantastic!
Lalitk,

Now you tell me! LOL
No wonder I went crazy trying to squeeze blood out of a stone.
Sounds like a great device, though.
kahlenz You must be kidding I hope. Classical and jazz sound are acceptable to hear with compressed sound? That’s utter nonsense. Classical and jazz are especially critical to hear (and enjoy) with a full panoply of dynamics, both micro and macro. Post 1995 pop recordings are typically highly compressed- no need to expend that music.  Listening to heavy metal and hard rock from the 60's to the 80's have generally compressed dynamic ranges anyway.
