Spotty plugin should give 320k already there is no exposed settings ? Is not premium a prerequisite to have any squeezebox integration .
Also LMS have a setting to lower the volume on streaming sources default is -5dB set this to 0 dB . Also turn of all volume levelling in LMS if your going to compare . To get a real comparison use an album that you a have CD of and then find the same on Spotify and then compare . Try to find the same version and master ( that's probably impossible) I tried once with a live album by Eric Bibb that was recent and not a remaster or remix . It sounded the same as the CD to me . That said I had experienced not so good SQ on Spotify in other cases . Reasons may vary . Someone mentioned that not all their masters is that good . The record company migth done a bad job . Also a radio station migth use a lot of EQ and multiband compression to get a fuller sound especially on a tabletop radio and similar . Crank up the volume on Spotify and use on a real hifi ? Or you simply prefer the radio station sound ? This is not impossible as we mostly compare without reference to anything , do any of us really know how to record is supposed to sound ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
