It's interesting. In my old apartment, I couldn't hear a difference at all. The room wasn't great. Highly reflective and very, very big. But when I moved into my new apartment with a much smaller listening space and a higher concentration of soft furnishings it was immediately apparent. Like, immediately. Spotify sounded highly compressed and like I was listening to something I downloaded from Limewire in 2005.
And yeah @TheButchersDog as @ChasnotRobert says, I usually play an album and then just let it play it's Radio stuff until I can be bothered to choose something else to listen to.
Updating volumio on my player right now and about to give tidal a go.
Almost certain that I will not hear a difference.
