[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1990730, member: 10336"] I haven't subscribed to any of the high-end streamers, and Spotify/Amazon generally sound like high bit-rate MP3s to me even when it's touted as "high def". My raw WAV files are definitely warmer because of the enormous bit rate of the capture, but the FLACs lose a little bit. Don't get me wrong, it still isn't analog, but to be able to have 30,000 tracks in my pocket it's good enough for me. TBH, hair bands never sounded all that good because of all the compression (this applies to a lot of 80's-90's music, not just glam metal). A lot of the difference you're hearing, especially with artists like Eno, is that they're mixed for listeners, not radio. That's a huge generalization, but it holds for quite a bit of stuff. [/QUOTE]
