IIRC high quality on Spotify is Vorbis at 320kbps. If you can tell the difference between that and lossless, I'm impressed.

On normal headphones probably not.

But with a decent DAC/Amplifier it's very easy to hear the benefits of lossless especially with well mastered sources at higher qualities e.g. 24-bit/192kHz.
