CD Availability Nearing It's End And The Consequences


Recommended Posts

I’m strictly a digital guy.  Speaking for myself, once CD are not available, it will create void in sourcing what I consider the best digital sound other than SACD. My experience is that the supposed superior Hi-Rez digital downloads to sound inferior to my 16/44 CDs. Aside from a very few hi res digital downloads I’ve purchased, I sit down and listen and say “hey wait a minute, that’s doesn’t sound as good as my CD rip”

For sure! Differentiate between downloads though and streaming — streaming does rip off artists for sure — if I like something I buy it and assume the artist is getting a reasonable cut — just bought a bunch of stuff on Qobuz today because they are claiming to give all profits to artists as a promotion. I hope it’s true. 
 

Id rather pay $$$ to an artist for live concert than scalper so understand the big rise in tix

I’m new to Qobuz, it’s perfect for casual streaming to finding new music. When I’m serious about best sound I go to my music library on the server  I have not purchased /downloaded music from Qobuz yet. Are you finding your purchased high res Qobuz down loads files off your server sound better than their high res streaming versions?
