Can Streamed Music Sound Better than any other source?

I have a much superior system than I might otherwise because I did NOT expend thousands on an analogue rig, and further thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands, on a vinyl collection. I do not believe I would enjoy the gratification I have now had I pursued aggressively an analog setup. It would have killed the means to achieve a wider experience of systems, which is my true joy. That may not be true for everyone, but if I am the sole exception, I am content to be it!  :) 

Comments about sources made out of context of particular audio systems imo are of little value. 

As I have gotten older, I have placed a premium on quality versus quantity. To me, streaming doesn't sound particularly good at all, but you get the convenience of access to a large quantity of recorded music, and running a playlist from a tablet. OTOH, physical media sounds best to me (I'm a shiny silver disc guy), and provides a much higher quality listening experience in all respects. 

@douglas_schroeder   One could make the same point about any aspect (accessory / peripheral / component) of a system or the room. Can you explain? Thank you. - David.

@rlb61   +1 on placing a "premium on quality versus quantity."

Regarding:

It's in the implementation and execution. Streaming can rival the best vinyl based systems. The same applies to physical media.

One can have a preference for and choose one over another, but to say [streaming]: "doesn't sound particularly good at all" is not accurate.

I've made my streaming sound a lot better than when I started building my digital system last year. The sound quality from my Denafrips Pontus II DAC helps, but efforts to reduce the amount of EMI and RFI in my digital signal path seems to have even more effect. Changes which have produced a noticeable improvement include: (listed in order of more to less improvement)

1. Going from a PC or iPhone as a streamer to a dedicated streamer (possible reason: less electrical noise from general-purpose computing devices not optimized for low noise)
2. Turning off WiFi and HDMI outputs on my streamer & using Ethernet via a WiFi Extender.
3. Switching from an AmazonBasics Cat 6 Ethernet cable to a Supra Cat 8 cable
4. Using Qobuz instead of Spotify (Amazon HD and Tidal sound worse than Spotify Premium to me)
5. Putting a Audioquest Jitterbug noise filter on my streamer's USB output
6. Using a Stordiau Lush USB cable

Even though it takes work to get streaming to sound good enough to be enjoyable, the upside is that I have millions of tracks of new music that I can explore. What I like, I'll try to get as a local file for better sound quality.
