Discs (and vinyl) was pretty much the winner about 98% of the time. I do stream to check out new music and to listen to stuff that I'm not that excited about buying but anything that I really like, I go ahead and order the disc. That being said, I already had a fairly large vinyl and disc collection, I'm not sure I would say the same if I was just starting out. Streaming for the most part is very very good.

I would agree, Buck, that I find the (ripped) disc of an album sounds better than the same album streamed via Qobuz.
