Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday?

You are crazy man!  Sorry, I couldn't resist (-: 

Your post reminded me of Kristofferson's song "Sunday Morning Coming Down" made famous by  Johnny Cash. Maybe it's just  some good Sunday afternoon vibes that you are feeling.

I recently read a news article where streaming services like Netflix were being asked to limit their high-def streaming to avoid bogging down the internet because so many folks were "sheltering in place" due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That would be the opposite of what you are suggesting though.  Who  knows?

Anyway, all the best, enjoy your music!

In my experience, sound quality can vary from day to day.  It may be the amount of noise in your electricity, the noise level in your home, your frame of mind on a given day, or many other factors.

Whatever does it, enjoy!

I agree that SQ is elecricity dependant. It is however not a new finding, there is a reason that power conditioners are used in hifi setups. What is interesting though is that using my own solar produced electricity incl. battery stored electricity brings a significant improvement. 

Mine always sounds the same, maybe you need to look at your system.
Bits are just Bits nothing more.

So my question is can audio that I stream on a Sunday sound better than the same music during the week? Is it possible that you get less bandwidth when things are busy during the week versus when there’s less traffic on a Sunday?

That's an interesting question. Bandwidth does have a huge impact on quality. HD was originally intended to be High Definition- one channel of ultra high quality audio and video. Until the suits figured out they could stuff 500 channels of I Love Lucy and weather reports into the same pipe as just one HD movie. Streamers could be doing something like that. 

But, I rather doubt that is the reason. Because they would need some reason to be going back and forth. Bandwidth costs, they aren't streaming for charity. More likely its just you are noticing what others have mentioned, its the power.

There's a simple enough test. You already hear the difference streaming. That could be bandwidth. Now try CD, or records. If those also sound better, well then its not bandwidth.
