I dislike CD. My equipment is capable of 192khz/32bit (some only 24bit though), so CD are pretty much trash at 41khz. Better than MP3, solely due to the info MP3 throws away, but not great.

Tidal goes higher, to 96khz on master quality where available (the vast number of tracks are not master quality, sadly).
