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 dropped Spotify premium as soon as I got Qobuz for 20% more $. Big diff in SQ. I DO miss the ease of Spotify connect though.
Since I usually listen in random and my p/L's are still there it is only a few moments of ignorable commercials difference otherwise.
I notice a smaller diff between the Spotify free and premium compressions than either compared to losseless.
Your results may vary.
Spotify has a larger catalog but Qobuz has lots of tracks it doesn't have.
Spotify is much easier to make and arrange playlists.
