Exactly the 320kbps OGG you get now (with high quality setting and no
volume leveling , check your settings !) on a good day *should* be
perceptualy lossles anyway .
It really is in controlled testing .

Btw we should not forget that built in lossy decoders in hardware
squeezeboxes has some limits to ?

Btw2 the SPH or Triode plugin does it decode on server ? or what ?

There are exceptions they certainly dont do thier encoding with best
practice in all cases :/ , maybe that improves with a lossless offering
(or is it the UMG watermarks you hear ) .
I've heard less than stellar sound , but that is not due to the format
(as usual ) spotify must do things wrong sometimes ?

But no streaming service do any real QC the labels are probably required
to upload new versions for the lossles offering .
So it will depend on them to serve up what they think is the seminal
version ? probably the hypercompressed remaster ?
