First of all most all of us that are dedicated to using streamers are not using wireless for the streamers. All are directly connected to the Home Network and Audio gear with Hard Wires. And 'detestable' sounding? - Do you really think that all people streaming are satisfied with detestable sound? You really don't even understand the basics of streaming, so trying to justify why you won't try it is pretty obvious.
Streaming when set up properly is indistinguishable from CDs. Provided they are set up properly and the comparison is a 'Fair One' That's why a lot of us here have gotten rid of our CD libraries. Your test was not even close to a fair comparison.You don't know what you don't know. And as I said in my original post to you, that you can add a streaming device which is just as high quality as the one you tried for less than $100. (They all work well, and the DAC is the important piece).
You don't have to get rid of your CDs and can run the Streamer and CD Player side by side. So, there really is no good reason not to try it. And passing up a Music Library to add 50 Million tracks of Music for $15 a month, is just plain foolish.
