Untrue, Spotify is imperceptibly similar to FLAC in most cases. The extreme, extreme majority of audiophile-types have no need for anything else.
You can learn to hear the differences if you're trained to do so, on top of having an extremely high-end headphone, but unless you're doing this, you will not hear any differences you are not just imagining.
If you want to test yourself. If you can consistently get 80% or higher, you can hear the difference between the file-types (I've met a couple who can do this pretty well), but there's an extremely high chance you won't.
