I have a playlist on Spotify. Of course I use their "Very High" quality setting, 320kbit/s. I've been demoing $50k+ speakers (Wilson, Magico, Focal, Alsyvox). I haven't done a head-to-head between Spotify and the "audiophile" services yet, but what I've heard using Spotify is excellent.
I only use music I love. My whole list, currently 143 songs, is here:
