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.
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
