willcate··on Ask HN: Difference Between Music Platforms Audio Quality to YouTube?
Spotify and Apple Music to me sound about the same. Amazon Music supports CD-quality audio minimum by default, which is nice.

The official record-company uploads to YouTube sound close to CD-quality but might not literally be.
