Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?

I have a friend who told me the same thing cd sounds better than streaming. I ask him why ? He said too much upsampling on the streaming because of that the music no longer sound natural. I don’t know if this true?

@jayctoy  That’s just bogus and your friend has no idea what he’s talking about.  If your streaming doesn’t sound as good as CDs it’s because there’s something in your streaming setup holding you back.  It’s well worth the effort to find out what that is and fix it. 

Lalitk maybe your streaming set up is excellent compare to your sacd or cd set up. In this case streaming will be better.iam only speculating.

Thanks again to everyone who has responded. So much goodness here! 

I'm old guy who grew up on CD, vinyl, cassette tape, 8 track and reel-to-reel.  When CD arrived, I found myself using my turn table less and less, so, eventually, I got rid of it (and everything else), and stuck with playing CD exclusively.  Why, because CD sounded so wonderful, and I no longer had to deal with the hassles of  owning a turn table.  When streaming music advanced to the point where it's sound quality rose to the level of CD quality and beyond, I found myself using my CD player less and less, so, eventually, I got rid of my CD player, for the same reasons that I gave up vinyl for CD.  And, I've never been happier!!!  Happy listening.       

To all the audiophiles who have for decades touted that the shortest signal path is the best so many times that it's become conventional wisdom, how do you reconcile that with a signal that can (theoretically) be transmitted halfway around the planet sounding as pure and to be as intact as one that travels, say, a foot and a half? Just asking.

All the best,
