YouTuber The Headphone Show tested how Spotify's lossless audio fares against competing offerings and found it to be lacking. The test suite included a FLAC track downloaded from a verified source, which was pitted against Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify lossless. Spotify Lossless, on the other hand, could not replicate the exact file in its uncompressed form. It essentially allows applications such as Spotify direct access to an audio output device such as a DAC. One can only hope it comes faster than lossless audio.
