All this can be blown away by two other issues . Which version/master is it , the major factor in SQ . There are some masters of some works considered much better than other version , this completely overwhelms delivery format . The streaming service may not always use best practice in lossy encoding and/or that particular file can be a lemon,( encoded 15 years ago with xing by the record company :) ) . So sometimes spotifys 320k is not always 320k and if they are maybe not as well done as if you used the best encoders of today . Bonus Q what if a streaming service got mp3's from some record company in their infancy lossy to lossy encoding ? or a wav file originally done from mp3 :/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
