It seems that the price for having a WiiM is to give Sp. permission to be even present in any way in any case on one of my devices. Too high for me so I ordered a Rivo this morning. When back home in March I will also re-activate my Nucleus. Having no choice was bad for the forced firmware updates, but even more for making SC mandatory. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Doesn’t the Rivo support Spotify Connect as well? In which case, it’ll be mandatory there too going by what you posted about Spotify Connect certification.

Volumio / Rivo gives you the switch. For SC you need a plug in.

Ok, from googling, it appears they implement Spotify as an optional plugin so not really a switch but an upfront choice.

But it really shouldn’t have come as a surprise that WiiM devices support Spotify and have done so via Spotify Connect since day one. Even if WiiM could disable Spotify Connect from their firmware, the fact that Alexa has similar Spotify support could be a backdoor. Perhaps disabling Spotify entirely would cripple Alexa support too along with its associated supported services like Amazon Music. That would be too high a price for me to avoid a service like Spotify which I don’t subscribe to anyway.

Enjoy your Rivo :)

I have used it exclusively for Qobuz, so it was on software side already an overkill 😉
But thank you anyway. For the time till March I am in any case restricted to headphones and an ERA.
 
Btw, the Ultra was a want-to-have new toy, read so much about that miracle. It replaced the Nucleus literally what made tbh no sense for my use cases. Toys for boys.
Now I have something to tinker with finding the appropriate DAC for the Nuc when back. Priority: Always something to deal with. Nonsense or not. 😂
