aussievintage Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I have been looking for a way to connect Spotify to my stereo system remotely. The quickest easiest way was a Chromecast audio that I have. This worked well, but I had a feeling the SQ wasn't as good as it should be. Now, I have been running Volumio on an rPi with a USB DAC - a Fiio E10K. The Spotify connect would not work. I have been finding Volumio to be flaky a lot lately. Too many niggly bugs. So I downloaded the latest Moode. After getting my mind around the different setup, I got the built in Spotify connect to work (it's built in - not a plugin like Volumio). Immediately I am hearing better sound. (yes both were set to 320k so it's a fair test) Looks like the little $100 Fiio is a lot better than the Chromecast audio. (of course I could invest in an external DAC for the chromecast, but it's better getting all my music through the rPi anyway. So I am happy with the morning's experimentation
