Same, I don’t have airplay so streaming is limited by apple through Bluetooth and sounds rubbish to me.What are folks source listening preferences nowadays, given that streaming is well and truly upon us?
I've only recently started streaming regularly, still hopping from one 3 month free trial to another ....which I do through my laptop plus Acoustic Research USB DAC into regular amps etc and the effect is very pleasing.
Probably 40% streaming, 40% CD and 20% vinyl in my case over the last year.

I think they get to a point where they want to be sure they have spent all the money they can spend on every detail.To add to the above ramblings..
When i was a sexy teenager my ears would ring/play a Hmmmmmm tone for a couple of days after being out all night and stood too close to speakers, i don't think ive damaged them but i'm sure i haven't done them any good..
I've only ever been for my ears syringed once after using earbuds for prolonged periods at work, it was f'kin amazing, it felt less like a hearing improvement and more like i'd gained a super power.. like my spidey-sense was tingling, just popping open the central locking on the car was like entering a whole new world of audio brilliance.. alas this soon wore off.
When my kid was little, his mum and i would be whispering quietly/adult conversation in the kitchen and the boy would shout through from the other room "i can hear what you're saying" pfft! yeah right, then years later he could hear a sonic fox deterrent in my mum's garden, undetectable to all but dogs.. anyway.. my point being.. these hifi super-nerds? a lot of whom are much older than I, will pay a small fortune to separate pre and power ect ect audiophile cables and such.. for improved audio quality, when i was a younger dude, i thought this was an entirely reasonable thing to do but as a middle aged dude with middle aged hearing.. how the fcuk are these almost inaudiable levels of interference detectable to these 60+yr old audiophiles with dull 60yr old hearing? are they syringing on the daily or just talking bollocks?
That brings me to another thing: do people find they listen to music that lends itself to good audio; so nice recordings of mostly acoustic music? I find myself doing this.
