Add Bit-Perfect Playback (WASAPI Exclusive Mode) on Windows

[Alexandre_Bordat]

Now that Spotify Premium offers lossless streaming, it’s time to unlock its full potential for Windows users.

Currently, the Windows app routes audio through the system mixer, which can alter the signal (resampling, volume control, etc.). To deliver true bit-perfect lossless audio, we need a WASAPI exclusive mode option (similar to what Tidal, Qobuz, and others provide).

This feature would:

• Ensure the audio stream is delivered untouched to the DAC.
• Allow audiophiles and Hi-Fi users to enjoy Spotify at its highest fidelity.
• Make Spotify a true alternative to other lossless services for critical listening on Windows.

they should also make a android driver that talks directly to the dac instead android mixer (16bit 48khz upsampling🤦)

Needs Bit-Perfect to make all the work to get lossless working pay off. Otherwise the alternative platforms will keep tempting HiFi users away.
