    Turned on lossless on Spotify. There is a very clear positive difference in audio quality and not in a gold-plated-audio-cable kind of way. Sounds very full and detailed – pumping bass and very crispy hi-hats. Didn’t know what I was missing.

      I’ve got my quality setting on very high (320kbps), do you think lossless makes a big difference? I did want to turn the setting on but I download my music so much more storage needed for lossless.

        There are separate quality settings for streaming vs downloading, and you can set it per device*, would those fix the issue?

        I’ve noticed that the caching will always choose the highest quality available, so I can’t easily flip back and forth between qualities to compare and give you a “big difference” answer. I am definitely noticing more in the low end – bass guitar/cello/kicks are all much more present in the mix. But I can do without that when I’m listening on my phone while out and about. At home with unlimited streaming its no problem.
