Reply to comment by klogg4 in I do use Spotify more nowadays by UnnecessaryMovements

idk if youtube does some other fucky stuff to audio besides opus, but there is no way youtube is even close to transparent. I immediately notice the difference when listening on youtube and i dont think im a particularly discerning person

Only volume normalization through the player. If you use youtube-dl to download Opus stream, you get completely unprocessed audio.

Now it's up to you to decide if a change in digital volume degrades quality for you or not :)
