I do care. I only buy FLACs. Sure, the i-dont-care-streamers are the majority, but even IF I would consider streaming I’d choose tidal over Spotify for that reason.

Hearing the difference is also affected by, obviously, the hardware used for playback+listening, the genre and also the recording.

And even if you don’t hear it, it won’t degrade when transcoding and you just get the best possible source for your moneyzs. Why settle for less.
