MarcinX I can hear subtle, really subtle, difference between AAC and LDAC, but in fact, I hear no difference (on Sony’s WF xm5). It’s personal, every person’s hearing is different. U can try it yourself by listening same track in mp3 and FLAC on wired headphones (not crappy 10 bucks headphones, some reference, studio headphones)
Other thing, Spotify can’t hit that 990 bandwidth of LDAC, it has 320kbps in best scenario, this is what AAC can handle
Buds2 will probably sounds better, not cuz of FLAC but cuz they are newer and I hope better sounding
Edit: type of music also makes a difference, some MIDI madness from 70′ or today shi*y popular “music” …LDAC won’t makes it sound better, there is everything bad from begining (recording, mastering…)
