I’ve been an audiophile for many decades. CDs played thru any CD player sound terrible. What you need is a good DAC (digital to analog converter) to get the best sound which can cost a couple thousand $$$ up to $100,000.
Vinyl can sound good too but you will need to spend some good money on this setup (more than what a DAC costs) to get as good of sound quality as digital.
I have thousands of CDs that haven’t been played since I ripped them to my server. It was proven almost 20 years ago that a cd ripped to a hard drive will sound better than the original cd. I have been streaming music either from my local server or from hi-res streaming services like Tidal for almost 20 years.
I setup music servers which allows you to play your music to any room in your house from your iPhone or iPad. (Check out Roon). I have access to millions of tracks of music from my iPhone/iPad (check out Tidal, Qobuz). This setup also streams hi-res music in formats like flac/dsd/MQA. If you have an Apple CarPlay system in your car, there is now an app so you can access your music server in your house and stream music to your car anywhere, so there is no need for Sirius/XM any longer.
The trend for many years is to stream music from many places like apple, Amazon, tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, pandora, and others, so if you want to compare revenues from purchased digital music vs vinyl (analog music), apple and Amazon alone sell more music in a month than vinyl sales for a year, digital music streaming brings in many billions of $$$ a year whereas vinyl brings in a billion a year.
