So what I plan on doing is setting up Navidrome on my home server and using InnerTune on Android to use YouTube Music for free

On Android, Windows, and Linux I played a song on Spotify, then played a song with Tidal (Cider for Apple Music didn't do lossless back then). I would pause and play on each and Tidal was just fuller sounding for every song I tested. Modern day Cider sounds better than Tidal now for some reason

First off, Youtube Music only does up to 256kbps AAC, which is similiar in quality to Spotify's Ogg/Vorbis 320kbps

I just edited the post, I could have sworn it was lossless but you're right.

Just because people aren't going endgame extracting everything the human senses can catch from sound waves doesn't mean they're dumb or wasting money.

I don't mean to make anyone sound dumb, truly. I don't actually care what people use, it doesn't concern me, however in my experience there is a huge difference between AAC and High Res FLAC and to be honest I thought everyone could tell the difference since it's night and day for me

I don't understand why people buy these nice and expensive headphones only to use Spotify, arguably the worst quality music streaming service that exists. It sounds so bad compared to Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, or even Napster. At least you are getting lossless sound with those, it won't be the same as having a ripped flac from a CD but anything is better than the AAC 128/320kbps that Spotify offers. It just bothers me when I see photos of headphones on this sub and then they have Spotify open in the background, I just can't understand!

How can these be so good at such a low price? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

One thing to keep in mind when using CF tunnels is that Cloudflare can see all of your server's traffic. If your goal is privacy I recommend staying away
