Allow lossless playback to Chromecast Audio device

[gvl]

Chromecast Audio is an older but still popular device for streaming. It supports FLAC up to 24-bits / 96 kHz so it should be able to handle Spotify lossless streams, yet it's currently limited to lossy quality. Please allow lossless playback on CCA.

"Chromecast Audio and Chromecast Ultra can already handle lossless (Tidal and others prove it), so limiting Spotify to 320 kbps makes no sense. Many of us waited years for Lossless and use Chromecast as our main listening setup — without support there, the feature is pointless. Please enable Lossless on Chromecast. The hardware can do it, and the demand is obvious."

Absolutely… come on Spotify

Very disappointing. Spotify please do something.

Techs never read forums. We are between us is all. 
I’m afraid that what we say – let alone demand – here is lost in the ether.

We can keep trying though 😇

 I am using Chromecast 4k, and on the mobile control screen, you can select the quality of the sound source from lossless.

But Chromecast 4K is not an audio device !

That said, my own Chromecast 4K isn’t supported… odd.
