Lossless on Spotify Premium is here. Lossless audio has been one of the most anticipated features on Spotify and now, finally, it’s started rolling out to Premium listeners in select markets.

To be fair I also tried the test with some 250 dollar monitor headphones and failed too. Probably because the shitty onboard sound card. But also im old.
I failed the npr test so I dont think I need it. Either im to old or use shitty Bluetooth headphones… Or both!

NPR test
ABX test

Not universally true, mine uses aptx. Depending on the device you can switch between codecs.
