It's worth asking, sometimes people miss the obvious

I agree. But one of my (many) bugbears with Spotify is the poor audio quality of their ‘best’ setting.

I haven’t tried Apple Music, but if Apple allowed access to their uncompressed stream through an API (currently only via AirPlay) to devices like my BlueSound Node then I would switch straight away.

Compared to CD, the best streaming quality from Spotify is pretty abysmal.

It's also highly questionable if anyone complaining about the audio quality would do that in an AB test. See gold plated cables etc.
