I've been using Spotify for a while now and it's definitely one of my favourite programs as of late, the ease of use, massive library's of music available in seconds is very convenient and it's a great way to explore music rather than listen to the same genres/artists religiously.
So far the quality (High quality via preferences menu, apparently it's 320kbps Mp3 however it's rumoured that less than a third of collective music on the program is available in high quality) has been ok for me, I've been using the integrated sound on my computer and a pair of XB500s EQ'd to hell and back but recently I've upgraded to a pair of HiFiMAN HE-300s and a FiiO E10 and while they sit in limbo between inner Europe and the UK I've been pondering if spotify will bring out the beauty of my new hardware or will leave me feeling disappointed and have me buying FLACs again.
Without rambling on my main question is to those who have experience with spotify and listen/have listened regularly in the past using decent equipment, should I switch to higher quality sources or will spotify be enough? Thankyou.
