Where does music come from that streams?

If I was creating my own streaming company, would I reproduce songs from a CD or from a record? So when I listen to my streaming source, qobuz, where do they get the music I listen to? Does the music come from master tapes? Well that would seem to be a pretty good place to get it

Sometimes I wonder, a particular song on qobuz doesn’t sound very good and I know I’ve heard it better in the past. And most stuff sounds pretty good and comparable to other sources.

Sure it's a great conspiracy.

You can chase your tail all night but the system you put together better play to your liking. Today for me it's horns and tubes. tomorrow that might change.

 

We all need variety and maybe multiple systems.  Far and few between IMHO.

Various: sources, versions, and definitions of hi-rez (some hi-rez is derived from lower sources). Transparency would be nice…wishful thinking

I am sorry I came to this topic late. Minorl, I hope you picked up the Boss Tenors disc, it is one of the better recordings in my collection.

Now about streaming, is this now the highest hi-fi method to hear music? A friend invited me over to his place to hear his system. The only thing is he told me not to bring any software, but a list of anything I want to hear and he will stream it for me.

How do I know his choices are as good as mine? Is there a new hierarchy in hi-fi now? Is streaming as a method reproduces the cleanest sound, as opposed to playing a CD, SACD, LP, tape through your own equipment?
