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

brayeagle:  you will be stuck with what they have.  But they have more material than I could find space to store on CDs. Tidal has a fairly decent assortment, but individual recordings can be tough to track down.  I look them up on google, then search for whatever performers name the album is listed under (usually the soloist, sometimes the conductor, rarely the composer).  A little rough.  So far, Idagio has been a more pleasant searching experience.
I signed up for the free trial on Tidal.
Ive been trying for an hour to get hooked up to Aurender Conductor 
to no avail.  I downloaded the Aurender app but can’t get it to work.

Trouble is do you have to purchase it first to get all the info?
Your good with that one anyway, as it’s the only version released.

Just had a listen to the samples, and you can hear on the samples the DR site is right, it wasn’t compressed too much at all also done by "Blue Note" they don’t compress. Sounded good I might get it S/H on CD

Just bought this double of him from Blue Note new for $20aud with yours and "A Swinging Affair" could be remastered.

@rvpiano,

In order to use Aurender Conductor App, you must own and install one of the Aurender music server. The Conductor app only works with Aurender server. 
I used to own various CD players (and DACs - Meridian, Meitner...)

Then I switched to streaming from iTunes and then from a raspberry pi to my Benchmark DAC.

Sounds just as good as any CDs sounded in my system.


Tidal sounds fantastic!
