I am done with digital. After having suffered thru every digital format available over the years, and never liking the sound of any of it, I am putting all my time, money and effort into my analog front-ends (turntable and tapedeck).
How many of you have a similar story to tell?
The opposite. I *love* my digital, plain 16/44 physical CD, which -- via reclocker from transport -- is much easier to get right than computer audio, even though that *can* be done (with lots of money and/or effort and drama).
I never thought that it was possible to get the sound quality from CD that I am enjoying now, but here I am, very happy with what I hear in terms of timbral fidelity and sheer resolution -- for example, I never thought I would get this outrageous level of delicate detail combined with a rich, wooden, rosiny tone (depending on recording) from string quartet as I am hearing now.
I am regularly exposed to great vinyl playback, which I immensely enjoy in friends' systems. I don't find the differences to digital of a nature and magnitude that would want me to invest the extraordinary amounts of money to get there, have me deal with surface noise, clicks and pops (I don't mind them in friends' homes, but in my own system they would drive me crazy), and would want me to accept not having access on vinyl to all the newer music and/or newer interpretations/ recordings that I can enjoy on digital.
I am extremely happy with my decision to spend all the money that I wanted to spend on optimizing the sound of my CD playback, which is at a level that I could never have reached had I split my resources and attention between different recording media.
As for streaming, I do that on YouTube over laptop and $30 headphones (not that I'm spending much time on it).
