Only using Spotify connect, am I loco??!!

Hey everyone,
I have a very simple system... some living voice auditorium speakers, a burson audio conductor V2 pre/dac and a kick ass Primaluna Dialogue premium power amplifier (that I've named Blackstar- after David Bowie's EPIC album). Into this I use fidelizer and run spotify connect to my Dac.
My question is am I loco? Do I need more? 
To use a metaphor... am I driving my Porsche round at 30kph like a fool? (from NZ so we roll kilometers and centimeters)
To me this sounds great, but I don't have anything to compare it too, so I dont know what I dont know, you know??!!
Thanks!!

I only use Spotify and you tube and get fantastic SQ from my system. My Lyngdorf TDAI3400 does resample everything to 24/96. I have tried a decent CD transport and I really struggle to hear any differences between CD and Spotify. I bought an etherRegen switch that gave a very noticeable uptick in SQ

I do think that Spotify sounds a little better than you tube. I'm using apple TV 4th gen, but even YT is fantastic. On my system if I want qobuz or tidal I would need another box , power chord and cable. I will demo an innuos streamer soon just to see if I am missing much.
