I've had an HD 6XX with a Schitt Magni + Modi for quite some time. I just wanted better sounding audio. Eventually I fell out of being into good sounds and I'm not even sure what's what anymore because I barely had a clue then. So, I've been listening to music on Youtube for free and just now realized wtf am I doing...there must be a better quality place to listen to music. So, I'm here asking for your assistance. Also, maybe my setup isn't good so I'd be curious to see what anyone has to say about that if you have input on it as well.

Getting back into my CD collection after using streaming services for years. If you have CDs , definitely do this!

Spotify is the best and with the largest collection, but definitely has audible compression if you're using really resolving headphones. I didn't like Tidal because the catalog is small and the high quality music is even smaller.

All that said, if you want the highest quality, just use lossless files. But remember that even the best Bluetooth streaming is lossy and new compression algorithms are very good with psychoacoustics... For most purposes Spotify set to Very High over BT is more than acceptable.
