I recently ordered the HD 650s and the Qudilex-5K and was wondering if Spotify’s audio quality will be a good enough music source for my untrained ears. This is my first audiophile setup.

Take that. 128kbps are supposedly dogshit tier, unlistenable encodings if you believe the bozos around here. How many can you pick out with your setup?
I’d bet 80% of the bozos here who like to think they have golden ears couldn’t pick the wav for any of these without getting lucky.
Some of these are bad samples to test, you need music with “lots of things going on at the same time” - that’s where 128kbps compression would be noticeable
