Off line Spotify, is there a loss in quality?

[DKennedy]

Hi everybody peeps,

As this is a side issue to the main problems I have been having with my media pc I have started a new thread, sorry if this is not netiquette on this forum.

Since i changed the router, I have lost internet access on my new media pc ( if you have seen the other thread you will understand my frustration at the moment).

I am using an Asus Sonar STX soundcard, and the sound on other applications is fantastic (thank for the advice on that one guys, it is a gem) and Spotify used to sound great. However, i have noticed that the tracks I down loaded before i lost connection seem extremely flat. bitrate, hardware acceleration are on.

Is this a problem with the way things are set up (im doing a rebuild over the weekend so it would be good to know) or is it spotify?

Ok I know talking to myself is a sign of madness but i just have to say that Im listening to spotify online, through a decent soundcard (stx) for the first time. I am quite literally erect!

Too much info?
