CD v Streamed



Uncompressed CD audio will take about 10.6mb per minute to play, to stream that takes big space and dollars to stream an album, see what your streaming company’s takes mb per minute to stream, find out and post up here.

I hear CD’s are better, I get better dynamic range from CD every time it’s A/B to me, now that could be that the streaming companies are using the "later compressed re-issues" of the same albums, you can find that out here https://dr.loudness-war.info/
Or that the streaming process itself compresses the music to save "streaming size" to save big dollars even if in small amounts.

Here’s a video from the CEO of Disc Makers Pty Ltd, yes he probably also biased because he manufacturers CD’s and vinyl, and is a very bad dancer.

OP, what device(s) do you use to stream? What streaming service? I hear no difference and much prefer the variety offered by streaming over buying physical media.

I do it here at a friends place as he has access to many pieces of eqipment, Edgar Kramer ex 6 Moons reviewer now owner of Sound Stage Au, this is his own system.
At the moment he has a $8kaud Auralic Altair G2.1 Streamer to listen to, I "may" get around there this week to hear it.

Cheers George
