[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8608505, member: 673826"] It's sounding like the answer to my hypothesis is a strong "no," but have you tried casting via Bluetooth a file which you have not down loaded from Spotify and which you know to be high quality, eg. a FLAC file you've downloaded off your home desktop? Always eliminate the most easily tested hypothesis first, before pulling our hair out. (Just because the download is at a certain rate doesn't mean the source file is high quality, after all). (And for the record it's FLAC, for "Fully Lossless Audio Codec." So far we've written just about every possible permutation of that acronym in this thread). I don't understand why his phone would do any dsp processing at all for audio data it's not going to play. I assume that's just for audio that's about to go through a speaker. [/QUOTE]
