Spotify is preparing to launch a Hi-Fi music tier
http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/1/147...ess-audio-tier
Spotify is preparing to launch a lossless audio version of its streaming service, according to multiple sources. The offering, which is currently called Spotify Hi-Fi, will offer lossless CD-quality audio to users — similar to what Tidal offers in its Hi-Fi service.

Re: Spotify is preparing to launch a Hi-Fi music tier
This is way bigger news than MQA - appears Apple may be about to offer it as well. Tidal may fold up once that happens. Cheers to finally getting back to Spotify's superior interface.

Re: Spotify is preparing to launch a Hi-Fi music tier
I subscribe to both Spotify and Tidal. Spotify is my primary music discovery tool. Tidal is much clunkier IMO.

Currently you can already use Spotify app and AirPlay to Lumin at full quality without loss, even if Spotify launches Hi-Fi. Originally Posted by myrman

Re: Spotify is preparing to launch a Hi-Fi music tier
it's cool that mainstream attention is being brought to higher quality audio in a music streaming site. It's the equivalent of listening to cd's on your desktop, but without the hassle of storage.

I'll switch from my paid pandora subscription to spotify for this once spotify fixes it radio algorithm. i use internet streaming mainly for music discovery, and spotify doesn't help with that.
