Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player

I just read a review on the Legacy Focus speakers.  They must be incredible.  I wonder how they sound compared to Jim Salk's Song3 Encore towers priced at $6,000.  To date I have not heard better.  I couldn't believe how they sounded compared to a pair of $60,000 speakers I hear at the RMAF in October.  I don't think anyone handles the Legacy Focus speakers in Denver, but I will be looking.

To change the subject, I wonder how people in this group feel about how important amperage/current is when buying an amplifier to create superior sound quality?  For example, Parasound has a 5 channel amplifier that delivers 180 watts and 67 amps per channel while Primare has a 5 channel amp delivers 150 watts and only 30 amps per channel.  I contacted Primare and the guy told me sound quality is not dependent on current.  He also told me the Primare would blow away the Parasound amp.  I think this guy was blowing smoke and mirrors.  I wonder what people in this group think.  This in itself would make for an interesting discussion.

Someone just replied and said he thought the sound of TIDAL was better than a CD.  Glad I am not the only one who feels TIDAL quality is better.  I hard wired my router to my Apple TV and perhaps that makes a difference.  The same person told me prefers vinyl over everything.  I don't know how this is possible because there is more noise with vinyl and the needle is only able to make contact with so much area on the groove of the vinyl record.  This said, you must be losing a lot of information and as a result detail.

Agree it makes no sense that an old fomat like vinyl tops CD but there is no contest in my high end rig. I did hear the Audio Research CD9 at a show and it sounded good but home audition revealed it to be not so good. I like 16/44 redbook files though.
