I know that for 99% of music it is very difficult to tell the difference between a 320K mp3 and a flac but that does not mean there aren't differences. If you are happy with 320k mp3 or whatever is the Apple equivalent then great. I prefer flac or lossless files. However that is not the reason I have chosen not to use Spotify or any other premium music stream service, I don't use them because they do not offer much of the music I listen to on a regular basis. Also I rip all my CDs to flac, which is a lossless format unlike 320k mp3, which is a lossy format. I really do not want to have a discussion on the merits of lossless over lossy since that is a topic which has been beaten to death. As I stated above, if you're happy with the sound of Spotify and like their selection then more power to you. Now please tell us about the Linn DS, what music you listen on it and how you control it.
