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

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.

Liking your comment would mean the same... but why? I do recommend turned of by default and as an advanced setting.

Please add WASAPI Exclusive mode to the Spotify Windows app so lossless playback can be truly bit-perfect.
