Lossless on Spotify Premium Available on WiiM

​

Spotify Premium has officially started rolling out Lossless Audio, delivering studio-quality sound to music lovers across the globe. And for WiiM users, Spotify’s new high-fidelity streaming is fully compatible with WiiM devices through Spotify Connect. When Lossless Audio on Spotify rolls out to your Premium account, you'll be able to play it on your WiiM devices.

With support for up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC, Spotify Premium now offers richer, more detailed playback across nearly every track in its catalog. Whether you're rediscovering old favorites or diving into new releases, the listening experience is elevated to a whole new level.

WiiM users can enjoy seamless integration via Spotify Connect, just enable Lossless in your Spotify app settings and let your WiiM device do the rest.

Does Spotify Mix also work on WiiM?

I don’t think mix works on Spotify Connect irrespective of device.

I'm testing Spotify now (I currently have Tidal). Unfortuately, Spotify doesn't have Atmos (I have two music rooms - one stereo/WiiM and one multichannel) so I will probably keep Tidal. I also took a pass on Amazon, Apple due to the difficulty in streaming from my Mac desktop to the WiiM.

I don't use the Atmos feature often, so maybe I'll take a deeper look.

I wasn’t aware of its existence but just tried it out. It does not work via connect. Seems to run locally on the phone app so via Bluetooth or AirPlay it works but not via Spotify connect

not that i am desperately waiting for the lossless miracle. but no sign of it. at least not for me in germany.

Announcement is for October! It‘ll come…

I can confirm this…

The bitrate is no longer displayed on the Amp Ultra screen.


The WHA now displays a 'lossless' indicator.


This is better, but it would be more better if the screen also displayed a lossless indicator

At least it’s now consistent with what it did before. However, we’ll no doubt get complaints as to why it no longer displays the (incorrect) 700kbps bitrate…

Yeah, it's a system where no matter what they do, someone complains

 

[Burnside]

Yeah, I think it’s ubiquitous on (un)social media

 

[Deleted member 24058]

it is simply life. all 'systems' offer obviously more than a lot to complain about. and of course views can differ .

unfortunately when I try to play Spotify Connect through my Wiim Pro, I get the message that this device is not compatible with lossless audio

As advised elsewhere in the forum, make sure your WiiM device is on the latest non-beta firmware, clear the Spotify app cache (or delete/re-install the app on iOS), power down the WiiM, wait a few minutes then power it back up. That has resolved that issue for a good few users today

Sorted. Thank you so much

Ok, I got the lossless going for my wiim amp now. But I have seen on my phone, that not all music is provided in lossless audio quality, and some songs didn't have the "lossless" tag under the playback indicator. But while playing via the Wiim the lossless tag is shown behind the Wiim symbol, as long as the setting is set to lossless, regardless of the song that's playing... So if I want to see if the song is actually lossless, I need to disconnect the Wiim, see on the smartphone, and then change to the Wiim again.

Here it is too. Spotify Lossless arrived fully installed today, but the bitrate display has disappeared

The reasons for this have already been explained by @Burnside. This is the best the WiiM team can do right now.

Lossless arrived for me this morningHave since been playing around and it does sound very good. However, if I look on the windows app for Wiim, the bitrates are always exactly the same, as per this screenshotView attachment 27502When I had Tidal for awhile some songs were up to about 5,000 kbps! I also play FLAC files from my Brennan B2, they always come up with their own bitrates, which are higher than Spotifys.View attachment 27503Just wondered if anyone has bitrate above 700 kbps on their setup?
listening to Alabama3, aint going to goa just now, sounds great! So i'm happy.

Wiim responded re the...

I read something about a desktop app and a mobile app.
Can't Ultra and Amp Ultra display the actual data rates they're currently providing?

The bit depth and sample rate can be displayed, but the bit rate is misleading as a fixed 700 kbps was displayed. I think that is why the Team has hidden them all. It is not known if this will be improved in the future..(I guess that's up to Spotify)

@RyanWithWiiM, @WiiM Team, @WiiM Support,

One way to do this would be to display it like this on the Ultra screen.


It looks better and some users will be pleased.


This is the signal information when playing Spotify on my Yamaha AVR. The bit rate is not displayed, but the bit depth, sample rate and signal type are displayed.
