CD or Streaming... am I missing out?

I listen to CD in my headphone office system. Use a Theta Compli transport and a very nice and pricey tube 16/44 DAC. Have thought about a streaming capability and all its benefits but am both limited by SPDF and by 16/44 only. I also love the analog sound of my tube DAC. Does streaming sound far surpass CD? Am I missing out?

There are regular posts here asking some variation of the same question, "CD or streaming?" It's not an either/or situation. There's absolutely no reason having a great streaming setup means you can't also enjoy whatever pleasure you get from owning and playing CDs.

Owning a tangible object is important to me! So it will always be the CD!
