Streaming is not really a format, its just a delivery process, which means any format that is or has been converted to digital is the original format not the stream.

That's mostly all streaming is to me - playing my own music, very locally, from a partition of the SD card in one RPi (for a headphone rig)- and an SSD plugged into another RPi (for a system).It's also a term misunderstood and/or misused by audiophiles.
Most audiophiles equate streaming as just accessing a commercial service over the internet.
When the literal definition of streaming is the transmission of data over a (computer) network...
That could be from a commercially operated server over the internet or equally your own personal rips/downloads stored locally and accessed over your LAN...
My main setup has had 1 through 4 equipment for years. Two internet radios are my 6. Other, unless that would also fit under "Streaming". CDs have been my only continuous source since 1985 and my sine qua non this century. I use all four "formats", but 3 CD players and a ton of CD FLAC and 320-kbps CD rips allow or account for 90-some percent of my listening through my stereo, DAPs, and car setups. My old Audi is equipped with a 6-CD player, a cassette player, and an after-market Bluetooth setup, and this black beast satisfies 90-some percent of my mobile-listening requirement.1. Streaming
2. CD
3. Vinyl

Rough and highly variable estimates: 50% streaming my own digital music files, 40% Amazon Prime video, and 10% Amazon Music apps: 0% podcasts and 0% music videos.So far streaming is ahead what are you streaming what % ? TV ,Music,Podcasts, Video ?
Assuming the music masters are the same and they're not going through the same DAC, then it could just be that you prefer the DAC in the Technics.I don't know why but well recorded CD's sounds better on my technics CD player from 1989 than hi-res tidal streams. Much more organic and musical.
