Request for support of Spotify Lossless

You can also use Connect. Access the app on Eversolo, open Connect on your smartphone or tablet, and transmit to Eversolo, but not to DMP8, but in my case to RK3588, which is the Eversolo Android. What a mess.

 

Yes lossless

 

Yes, ColtrColtrane63's method appears to work for Lossless Spotify Connect:

 

Can you just double check this?
I mean:
1. play something that IS NOT lossles through -connect, and check what it is reported on screen
2. play something THAT IS lossless through -connect, and, again, check what's being reported on screen
3. and maybe switch back to something NOT lossless one more time, and again, check, as above
I am not saying it could be a stream properties refresh issue, but it could be, right...? After all, the -connect app NEEDS to be refactored in order to be able to request the lossless version of the track, as this is how Spotify Lossless works: it is not all-of-a-sudden-everything-is-lossless, but rather a do-you-know-you-can-have-this-lossless-BUT-you-MUST-ask-for-it?...
Not wanting to discredit @ColtrColtrane63 claims in any way; be this clear.

 

It won't show up on the playback since it's a third party app.

 

I figured as much. That't why a direct Connect function, like Qobuz and Tidal have, would be nice.

 

I'm happy to see that Eversolo supports lossless playback on Spotify, a third-party app installed on the device. I can control lossless playback on Eversolo by launching Spotify on Eversolo and then opening the Spotify app on my phone. However, if I directly select Eversolo via Spotify Connect in the Spotify app on my phone and play, the audio quality is locked at 96kbps. I hope Spotify Connect will also support lossless playback on Eversolo. Other network players that previously didn't support lossless playback on Connect are gradually supporting lossless playback. I hope Eversolo will also quickly join Connect in supporting lossless playback.

 

This bypass descibed by @ColtrColtrane63 works and temporary could be sufficient....how ever we await standard spotify connect with lossless option. So, once again @Zidoo Support-Kim could you give us some approximate date of firmware upgrade with this feature? For me most important dmp-a6.....you haven't respond for that earlier Thanks in advance!

 

Hi. These requirements are collected to the developers indeed, though I haven't receive a certain date of this feature, and I can only update here when I have confirmed coming news.
Thanks for your patience and trust^^

 

Yeah its a mess

 

I can't get past the loading screen because the Spotify app crashes constantly on my DMP-A6. I've done a factory reset, cleared out the app data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Not sure if anyone else running into this problem.

 

Hi, could you please tell me the version of your firmware and the Spotify app?

 

yeah on Eversolo it shows: 1.5.10 and on Spotify it shows 9.0.82.1008 when it didn't crash

 

And for me it's like this:

 

my 16bit max 0,7 Gbit, i don't no why

 

Not all songs work in 44.1/24. You have to find them. Try the one I showed.

 

Spotify provides a maximum of 0.7GB/hour for 16bit 44.1kHz audio sources and 1GB/hour for 24bit 44.1kHz audio sources. The audio source you played was simply a 16bit audio source. If you play a 24bit audio source, the option will change to 24bit. If you play the link below, you can see that the 24bit and 16bit audio sources are mixed.

Conclusion : It's not your fault.

 

I”m getting Spotify lossless by playing a side loaded Spotify app on my eversolo a6 s2. You need to make sure the app is set for lossless both for wifi and cellular. Then jsut start playing a song. If you then use Spotify connect, mine shoes playing lossless, and any songs I pick with it from then on during the session are lossless. Strangely, instead of saying playing on eversolo, it says rk3566 lossless.

Remember, a similar work around is the only way to get Apple Lossless on an eversolo. Their airplay app generally downsamples, so if you want to play lossless

 

First make sure your Spotify apps are up to date. Use the Spotify Premium app from your download store and make sure the Spotify app on your Eversolo device is also up to date. Otherwise you wont see the options in settings for Lossless. It didn't work for me until after some time I clicked on the Spotify app within the DMP-A6 ME and was prompted to download a newer version. Then it was just a matter of going into Spotify settings in my DMP-A6 ME and setting 'Lossless' where available or as appropriate for you. Then on my iPad device, beside the 'R'xxxx it reads lossless.
