I've found out if you right click on speaker icon select playback devices then right click on defaualt audio device then advanced you can then select 16bit/44.1khz in shared mode. This means spotify is not being resampled at another rate and is essentialy bit-perfect.

Agreed: given that the codec has already thrown away lots of bits of data from the original recording, trying to get Spotify bit-perfect does seem to have an element of 'rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic' (and other rather more vulgar metaphors) about it.
