Even sitting in complete silence with my (couple-hundred) dollar over-the-ear headphones, the High Quality streaming audio still sounds pretty damn good to me.

Even sitting in complete silence with my (couple-hundred) dollar over-the-ear headphones, the High Quality streaming audio still sounds pretty damn good to me. One interesting counterpoint is that I have several albums that sound far better on vinyl than on any streaming platform, but that's a matter of audio mixing rather than audio quality—whoever keeps doing "digital remasters" that have no low end whatsoever, you're killing me!
