Spotify CEO David Ek threw another splash of cold water on any sort of hi-fi plan, despite the company saying one was coming some two years ago.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek was relatively mum on any new details for a “lossless CD-quality” streaming option — announced in February 2021 — during the company’s second-quarter 2023 earnings call, though he did at least string together some words in response to a question about the possibility of a higher audio quality.
Related And that was that. The thing is, Ek isn’t wrong. Lossless streaming isn’t for everyone, if only because it currently requires at least a wired connection, if not additional hardware like a standalone digital-analog converter. For most folks, lossy audio over a Bluetooth connection is perfectly fine.
