Spotify Lossless update

Despite not completing the certification process, HiFi Rose still advertised the RS130 as “Roon Ready” right out of the box on launch day—a claim that was simply not true.

Well, to be fair, EverSolo did an even worse thing with one of the original DMP boxes, and had it pretend to be an already certified Zidoo model while they were working out the official certification for DMP itself. And Anthem still keeps advertising their AVRs as “Roon Rerady coming soon” even though they admitted that it isn’t happening. But it’s still a bad look for Rose.

The failure to implement Spotify Lossless isn’t just a small oversight. It reflects a pattern: promises made publicly, but not backed by the execution, communication, or support we should be able to expect from a company positioning itself as a premium brand.

Indeed. As soon as it turns out that something can not be hacked quickly and cheaply, they say that it’s too difficult and won’t happen…

Not a dumb question but nay a shallow one. Spotify offers quite the vast library of not just music but podcasts and more. I’ve also been waiting for them to go lossless n now that it’s arrived I myself like others would like to use this feature on top of my Tidal service to stream. Options and variety are best are they not? Rhetorical
Brb time to flip my record:)

I’m still upset i had to drop $125 on a new metal bodied remote to replace the plastic defective one that came with mine!

Just saw this in my FB feed :

"Finally Here! Spotify Connect Lossless is available on Eversolo V1.5.60! Experience true high-fidelity with 24-bit/44.1kHz streaming.!

Supported: DMP Series, T8, Play Series. Update now and hear the difference!

*OTA update roll out in batches" … Facebook is teasing me… anybody from Europe interested in my 2m old RS451 ?

We fully understand why this situation may feel frustrating, especially considering that the RS451 is a relatively recent product and positioned as a high-end device.
Your comparison to other industries and expectations around long-term support is completely understandable.

The decision to develop the RW800 as an external module was not taken lightly.
Unfortunately, due to technical and licensing constraints related to third-party services, it was not feasible to enable these features through a simple firmware update on existing hardware.
Developing an external module was determined to be the most reliable and future-proof solution without compromising performance or stability.

Regarding pricing or potential support options for existing customers, your feedback has been clearly noted.
While we are unable to confirm any specific policy such as free distribution at this time, we will make sure that your comments are shared internally with the relevant teams for consideration.
