There is a catch, however. Spotify’s lossless option tops out at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC. Apple Music, Tidal, and Qobuz all offer HiRes FLAC support at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Granted, once you start entering 24-bit FLAC territory it can get pretty hard to tell the difference unless you’re a particularly demanding audiophile with a soundsystem priced in the same range as a used sedan.
I was about the point out the pedantry in the first half, but they covered themselves. Anyone who says they can hear this difference is fooling themselves.
Higher resolutions and sample rates only matter when the recordings are going to be edited.
