Spotify really need to upgrade their sound quality.
Nah, they are right where they belong.
You need to upgrade your streaming service, possibly.
I did, a long time ago. I use Qobuz for most of my streaming. But every now and then I want to run a mix based on my listening habits, and that's the one place where Spotify is better than its competitors. It can actually make meaningful suggestions.
Interesting to note. Thanks.
I'm trying to remember the last time I listened to music in that manner. It has been a while.
I tend to listen to types of music. Artists, frequently. Composers. Older classical. Blues. The Stones. You get the idea. Most of the time I'll have favourited stuff on Qobuz or can look them up, but sometimes I want a mix, especially when starting work in the mornings. What Spotify does is offer you up to six different mixes, and those are *my* six approaches, not standard typing.
I avoid the classical on Spotify because the sound quality is horrible. The slightly more modern stuff there is easier to live with.
There are times when I prefer classical and can't make up my mind, so Qobuz provides me with Hi Def recordings. Some are really great.
Since I'm listening while working on a laptop, the streaming bypasses the sound card and goes through a proper DAC before the Denon and the Dali/B&W speakers.
BTW, amazingly, I think I've found an album that the B&W subwoofer doesn't quite handle - the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack on Qobuz (Spotify doesn't have the resolution).
