Probably it is a risk on my part suggesting this in your CDP thread but why not see if there is a HiFi place near you that has a demo internet streamer/DAC you can borrow whilst you are looking for a replacement CDP? Then simply sign up to a free trial to a lossless streaming service (e.g. Tidal) and have a play. Zero cost (other than the petrol costs) and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. Also you can have a sneek preview on the CD collection you are building up?
But perhaps not seeing that you pushed back previously on considering playing music without 'real' media. Just saying.
