Lol, when is uncompressed coming?
They are releasing that under a more expensive subscription option. Wish I was joking

Apple offers lossless audio standard
They won’t stop till they push even Android users to AM.
Oh sweet dick, does an iPhone have enough juice to make lossless stuff from Apple Music sound beautiful on my HD560s?
Tidal has been doing that for a while. The hi-fi option is/was double the price of the standard.
the only difference of that tidal hifi is already 1400kbps and HiFi plus is upto 9000
It's only been 3 years since they announced it, give them a little time jeez.
http://abx.digitalfeed.net/ must be propaganda by Big Audio to sell more hifi equipment because I can’t tell a damn difference between lossy and lossless. I’m ashamed.
I'd be curious to hear other people's experience with this test. Personally, the two quality levels are completely indistinguishable for me. And that was sitting in a quiet room, using decent quality wired headphones, and really concentrating.
At least I know there will be no need for me to upgrade my subscription if Spotify ever does start offering uncompressed.
I can, but I do get it. Not everyone has the ears. But when you can hear it, it’s a curse lol
Some of it has to do with the audio equipment too.
Like I can hear the difference on my high quality headphones when connected to a decent USB audio interface device or my Denon home theater system with Technic speakers. Barely, while a difference is there. But can't tell on my gaming headset or PC speakers.
And my ears are messed up. Had two sets of ear tubes when I was a kid and have some scar tissue on my eardrums which resonates with odd frequencies sometimes.
