ARC CD3 is built like a tank, and the CD2 Pro 2 is a great-sounding transport, a combo difficult to find these days.
YMMV but whenever I hear a comparison among CD vs Local File vs Streaming (provided the music was mastered the same and at same bit/kHz):
CD via a great transport just seems to have an extra liveliness and air. Annoying little things like transport footers, isolation, coax cable make large differences.
Local File is influenced heavily the operating system, playback software, settings, hardware, etc, but in general sounds smoother, softer, rounder comapred to CD. Many audiophiles would prefer this type of sound.
Streaming is also influenced heavily by software, hardware, network but in general seems to hit sort of a middle ground. Enough liveliness and enough roundness, although audio systems tuned already for smoothness will likely sound better via physical CD's spinning.
