CD no more produced?

Don't waste time with Tidal and compression.

qobuz (available in usa 14Feb19) 24x192 hi res on roon labs is the best available.

In the next few days or weeks or by the time you read this, Qobuz will be up and running in the US. I was on the beta test and I canceled my Tidal account. Qobuz sounds so much better and if your equipment handles 24/192 you will be very happy with the sound especially if you are a Jazz Fan. There are quite a few 24/192 albums but the older 60s Jazz masters are stunning in their detail. I am not well versed in the numbers lingo of flax 192 etc but I am learning. Even the 44.1 standard sound is far better that Tidals 44.1. How ? That I don’t know. 
There are 4 levels of sound quality and the highest (35$)  will allow you to download hi Rez. 
As a dedicated streamer, Qobuz is the best sound quality that I have found so far.

Qobuz is not yet available in Thailand...

The title of this thread sends shivers to me because I do not want to rely on streaming if I cannot own the music, also streaming can involve more components (eg computer, laptop).
To date my music collection is mainly of vinyl and Cds.  I listen mainly to ripped Cds, radio, internet radio and roam freely in Youtube to discover new music.  What I want to ask the forum with streaming method can I still own music?  I don't mind venturing into streaming if I can purchase and own the music espescially Hi Res recordings.  If it means something like direct debit payments for eternal music choices which I will not own then thats defnitely not for me. So far cds have served me admirably, they sound good on my system and even good on my car audio.  Even my friend who uses blank cds to record music on his laptop sound so good on my car radio!  Ofcourse it depends how that music was recorded onto the cd.  At this present moment via various sources I still can obtain Cds of artists new and old (fingers crossed!) and I hope various music formats will exist in the future and not just streaming.
