The article calls all lossless compression snake oil. Personally, I do like Dolby Atmos on Apple Music - especially for Classical.

  Personally I was convinced by double-blind tests done about 20 years ago. It's been a while, but I think it was by heise.de (with the c't magazine).

    I think if you have spent the time, money and research getting good sounding equipment that you like, it’s kinda automatic to also pick a streaming service which claims to offer higher quality even if you’re aware that you’re imagining it. I have about 2000 gbp worth of headphone gear (I’m not an audiophile, but I do like good sound) and I managed to convince myself tidal sounds better than Spotify.. Is it bullshit? Probably but at the end of the day, there’s a tenner difference and meh, it’s far less important than my amp or cans.

        cough yeah fair point. Some of the people I know have 8000 gbp power amps on each one of their speakers though, so I recon I’m still in the clear ;)
