It’s been a yearlong project for me to re-rip all of my CDs into raw PCM. Storage space is silly cheap compared with 20 years ago. Can I hear the difference? Not at my age.

Sounded the same on my end, but then again YouTube is going to 🗜️ compress it anyway.
So… 🤷🏾♂️

😂 I was wondering how we are supposed to hear anything meaningful in that test with all the YouTube compression

I wonder if they’ll increase the price for the lossless feature in the future since this requires massively more storage and bandwidth 🤔

Lossless is only useful with wired headphones and speakers. Essentially useless when bluetooth is enabled

You can get anything for a subscription or fee, and usually it’s intangible.

They had to upgrade their audio quality, as they were being left in the dust by other music streamers
