They have recently changed that. Lossless is now part of the basic plan

Oh wait what! I own a few headphones which actually benefit from it (ever so slightly, I know). Might be worth the switch

Yeah, on my good headphones the difference is quite noticeable

Even their middle tier quality CD level HiFi 16bits@44100Hz sounds sooo much better than max quality Spotify. Which is also included in their now 1 single price plan. Spotify maxes as 320 kbps, and an average lossless CD quality is around 1000 kbps.

I can definitely tell the difference.
