Spotify Hi Rez


Has anybody's new Spotify showed up yet. If so, what do you think. Worth the wait or what?

i haven't gotten it yet despite their press barrage--when i contacted support he said it was still being tested for bugs and fixes and to be patient. he was probably a chatbot, so i didn't bother pointing out they've been testing for bugs and fixes since 2021.

It is being slowly rolled out. By October end most in the countries listed in their news article should have it. All I need to do is have patience. I waited 8 years for it - what is one more month?

Qobuz Connect wasn't compatible with my 2 CA streamers, which aren't that long in the tooth.  It will be interesting to see if Spotify Connect, if it ever arrives, will work iwith current equipment or if people will be expected to buy new gear

my last app update from 3 days ago still doesn't have it.  still waiting here...

I just received it in Phoenix AZ. Sorry I can't recall how I was advised--seem to remember I got a text from Spotify or maybe I opened Spotify and the announcement popped up. I was invited to make changes to audio streaming quality in my settings to select lossless. So as we understand, it now offers CD quality but not the higher resolution available in some selections on Tidal ( which I also subscribe to and have been using in my main systems). Does it make a difference? Each will have to decide depending on equipment and individual hearing capability.
