Only using Spotify connect, am I loco??!!

Hey everyone,
I have a very simple system... some living voice auditorium speakers, a burson audio conductor V2 pre/dac and a kick ass Primaluna Dialogue premium power amplifier (that I've named Blackstar- after David Bowie's EPIC album). Into this I use fidelizer and run spotify connect to my Dac.
My question is am I loco? Do I need more? 
To use a metaphor... am I driving my Porsche round at 30kph like a fool? (from NZ so we roll kilometers and centimeters)
To me this sounds great, but I don't have anything to compare it too, so I dont know what I dont know, you know??!!
Thanks!!

If you ask us about it then it means you are not satisfied at least. Consider this first.

I have tried Tidal and am not a fan of their catalog. Qobuz has more of my preferences and their sound quality seems to be as good (to my ears) as the MQA in Tidal. With all of the good things said here about Spotify I guess I will have to get over there today. Thanks for the info.

My DAC upsamples. I have compared lower resolution services like Spotify to my current subscription Qobuz which has higher rez. Sometimes you can’t tell the difference especially with hard rock. But on other well recorded tracks the higher rez stream SQ is easily discerned.

if you want the best of both worlds then you need Qobuz and Roon.

 Qobuz has the best SQ and Roon is a better user experience than Spotify.

Spotify runs my playlist.....everything else is up to me wandering around, collecting 'this'. 'That!', and the other Thang....*L*

Works well enough to amuse....;)

If 'it' isn't 'There'...it's somewhere else, waiting to be dredged up. *G*
