[Music] ASIO Output Support

[Isosceles]

Please can you add support for an ASIO audio output device?

As a owner of a separate headphone DAC + Amp, I get much better quality music when I'm using the bit-perfect ASIO output rather than DirectSound, which changes the audio bitstream before it reaches the DAC. ASIO output would be a great compliment to the Spotify high-quality streaming.

Aside for the missing features, Fidelify is buggy and it seems to be dead, the site and forum is a ghost town, no news or answers from developers, a real shame... like other user says, I don't will pay premium without ASIO/WASAPI exclusive support.

It´s a shame Spotify gives no reaction to this point.I think it could drag many people to get a premium account. It can't be that hard to implement, other softwares use ASIO since ages, hell make it a premium feature... I get SO much better soundquality using Fidelify it's embarassing, but it's buggy and lots of features missing. So i'm swapping between clients and frustrated. Same **bleep** as Connect feature for windows phone...

Please add ASIO support!

Yes, please, add ASIO support. I just bought a FIIO E10K and the manufacturer has created special ASIO driver for the fiio, which I can;t use with mu premium spotify player 😕 Please, do something on the topic, there has been 3-4 years since anyone has asked about that and there is stil no suport.

Hey everyone, currently we don't have plans for this in our timeline. However, if this continues to grow we will keep passing this feedback on to our internal teams. Thank you for coming to the Idea Exchange with your feedback!

Great! the status coincides with mine about being a premium user: Not right now 😉 greetings!

Please add ASIO support to your desktop client !!! I am considering cancelling my premium membership because I cannot use my USB DAC with Spotify...

Would be very happy about ASIO support, too.

ASIO 4 ALL, name says it all.

It seems that some people don't understand well the concept of direct output...  

5050: ASIO4ALL only provides a generic ASIO driver for the devices that not support it in a native way, (in fact, is a KS wrapper). The point is that if the application does not support direct output (ASIO, KS, WASAPI Exclusive, no matter), is totally useless, only what you get is a signal processed by the Windows Engine (actually what we want to AVOID with ASIO or other direct output mode) that is directed trough an ASIO stream, I repeat, something redundant and useless in this case.
