People can do what they want for whatever reason, though cd’s are cheap and so is an Onkyo C-7030. Better sound quality and cheaper in the long run....
I think it depends. Just sitting here doing Tidal HiFi via CCA>>>optical>>>SMSL-M8>>>mediocore Sig system vs DV-45A>>>coaxial>>>same as above. Listening to a live acoustical performance (something this set up does well), CD sounds like recording of a live show. Tidal sounds like I am there .
Still not having the issues with Tidal others are. Maybe I don't use it enough to notice? It's vinyl 90% of the time.
Edit: and a preemptive hug to all the haters
Edit II: forgot the streaming source
Edit III: I travel an avg of 130 days a year and not any issues that aren't hotel WiFi related.
