The fun thing is, this hobby for the open-minded lets you learn all the time.

Now Source or Speaker is a strange question where I'm coming from because ultimately you will have to do both if you listen critically.

And for me, Source today is more complex than 20 years ago with CD/Vinyl. With streaming you have a streaming-chain rather than a simple source. And it starts with the Coax modem or ethernet port in your home and transcends the network to finally coming to the streaming "source" by the old paradigm.
