Spotify to offer lossless streaming service

[hifimaddy]

I can totally notice the difference in newer tracks; the bass is deeper and the soundstage is wider, even when I'm using headphones. But when it comes to really old songs from the 60s and 70s, they show the lossless audio, yet they sound just like regular Spotify tracks. So, my question is, why do they even offer the lossless option if it's not actually playing in lossless quality?

I do not think this is the case with me. The music is more rich and expansive now. The decays are more prominent or can I say, more graceful. I can understand if the track has not been recorded using the full potential originally, the difference between lossless and MP3 will not be that great. On top of this if your system is not very reflective of what it is fed with, you will have this challenge.

The quality of the original recording matters more than anything else.
If the original is well recorded the 320kbps streams and lossless streams will both sound good even though a decent set up will show up the differences in my experience.
Other than reviewers I don’t think many listeners will do AB testing between the two (even if made from the same master recording)
