I am using my Oppo 203 for both CD playback and as a DAC for Qobuz via Roon. To my ears I cant tell the difference, if streaming file is same resolution as CD at a minimum, should there be a difference with same DAC in play ? I have been happy with the quality, purchased a NAS drive with intent to rip CD's to my own drive, but fail to see the point if I can stream at same quality. As many have stated I suppose different discs/releases may differ in quality and therefore not always apples to apples. I have experimented and been exposed to so much new music via streaming I cant give it up.
CD no more produced?
Except dictated shops, the CD's are stopped selling on major shopping malls.
Due to unavailability of CD started looking at streaming, finally selected Tidal, but I am not satisfied, Using Teac DAC, Spec RSA717Ex integrated amp paired with Dali speakers
And also downloaded few albums through paid service for Hiresaudio and burned to CD, the quality of sound is not comparable with Music company produced CD's.
Have Music company's have stopped producing CD?
