I don't trust anyone's ears, nor impressionistic reviews. As for the rest, I don't pretend that others can trust mine... When you want to capture subtle differences in listening, it is certainly necessary to prepare a setup that allows you to quickly switch from one source to another, during the synchronized reproduction of the same editions. As far as I'm concerned, in the comparison between a famous compressed-only streaming service and an uncompressed one, in some cases (not always) I noticed differences in favor of the uncompressed one. In the end, since the price was identical, this was enough for me to choose. High resolution, as already mentioned, is essential in the production phase but if it can be achieved without particular efforts, even on the end user, I don't see why not to go with it.
