A question for the people who are streaming. Are you satisfied with it? Don't you miss good old cd player? How do you find the sound compared with a cd player?

Apple TV > Dacmagic > Naim Nait XS > Focal Chorus. Maybe night and day was a strong term but it's a vast improvement.

Put simply the CD player reads the disc once, in real time, and errors may occur, premium ripping software will read the disc a number of times to get all the data correctly then perform a 'check sum' calculation to show that it is correct. Play both data streams through the same dac and they should sound the same, unless the CD is difficult to read, in which case the RIP may sound better.

Will this sound better than a CD with proper power supply design - Generally I would say No.
