@rvpiano - What is the source of the files you are streaming? Ripped CD's store on a hard drive? Spotify? Tidal? If it is from a streaming service, is it their low-res or hi-res offering?
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
I’ve found that the SQ of my red book CDs exceeds that of streaming using the identical recordings for comparison. (I’m not including hi res technology here.)
I would like to stop buying CDs, save money, and just stream, but I really find I enjoy the CDs more because of the better overall sonic performance.
I stream with Chromecast Audio using the same DAC (Schiit Gumby) as I play CDs through.
I’m wondering if others have had the same experience
