Quick Summary

If you don't have aptX Lossless support – like on an iPhone, for example – your wireless headphones probably won't benefit from Spotify's new Hi-Res streaming option.

But adding a cable and a decent headphone DAC, like the new FiiO BTR13, will give you the extra bitrates you need.

The long-awaited Spotify Lossless is here, delivering above Hi-Res Audio to Premium subscribers, at last. And there's good and bad news about that.
