Streaming vs Physical Media


I have a decent digital front end with a Lumin U1 Mini (w/ external power supply) and a Border Patrol SE dac.  Have some CDs, but no transport.  Would a CD transport sound better than a streamer of similar quality/price?

After carefully reading your post, I am standing by my statement in its entirety. This is a open discussion forum and you are certainly entitled to your opinion and beliefs like anyone else. And I do appreciate your participation.

“Every streamer or server out there regardless of price simply benefits from noise filters placed in between server or streamer and your router. To what degree, that comes down to your components and overall system transparency.”

Fair enough. So are you!  My post wasn't intended as a request for you to retract your statement anyway...but I thought it called for a response, which I too stand behind!

Enjoy your gear.  It sounds like you have a lot to play with...that's really the fun to me. 

Fidelizer is a manufacturer of very good quality products. I have no experience with the featured Airstream Wi-Fi product. I do however  use their Nikola 2  linear power supply with my Pro-Ject RS2T CD transport and it is a fantastic pairing. I'm thoroughly happy with the sound quality'
