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.

When I uploaded my files, they didn’t allow FLAC or WAV, only MP3 320. That has now changed. That’s why I don’t think everything is a WAV-to-FLAC conversion, but rather MP3-to-FLAC. So even if it still shows as CD quality, you’re most likely just listening to an MP3 in many cases.
Ok, thanks - as I said, I’m just a consumer not a provider. When you play your tracks now from Spotify lossless, do they show as lossless in the Spotify app or when you use Connect to another device? Have you an example we can try? Thx
 
Lossless hasn’t arrived in Spain yet. I do know that in Sweden, with the Eversolo, in Spotify Connect it says that “this device is not compatible with lossless”, which doesn’t make any sense.

To me the whole thing seems really strange.

Just means Eversolo haven’t updated their firmware to support lossless Spotify, same as WiiM had to update theirs.
 
Finally, Spotify Lossless has arrived in Spain. In my case, I had to restart the WiiM Ultra, clear Spotify’s cache, and restart the app. After doing that and enabling the Lossless option in the settings, I connected to the WiiM via Spotify Connect (which is essential if you want true lossless), and the lossless quality stayed active. Without doing this, whenever I connected to the WiiM, the quality would automatically switch to “Automatic.”
As for how it sounds, I have to say, really good. I have a feeling many people will be leaving other platforms.

I just updated both my Spotify and Wiim Ultra and I can see and listen to Lossless but only on my phone?

When connecting to my Wiim via Spotify Connect, app says that Wiim does not support it. Which is strange. Anyone had issue like this?

Reeboting Ultra does the job. At least for me. I had the same situation as you, both on iOS and Mac Spotify app.
 
Available this morning in Canada (Quebec). No need to do anything, just select lossless in the app and it says lossless on the WiiM Ultra and in the Spotify app. I'll test it more later but the sound seems very good.
 
I've been testing Qobuz Vs Spotify lossless using connect with Wiim Pro into my 4 in, 8 out DSP controlled 4 way horn system.

I'm impressed by both the Wiim Pro streaming bit perfect and Spotify Lossless sound.
