My Question or Issue

Am using Spotify Connect on the KEF LS50 Wireless. My problem is that it stutters during the first few seconds of almost every song. Once it gets past the first few seconds the rest of the song plays fine. 

It cant be my wifi/internet connection since theres no stutter when I listen to Spotify on my iphone/ipad or even spotify connect on my Onkyo receiver. I’ve also ruled out hardware issues on the LS50 since there is also no problem if I listen to them via bluetooth.  There is also no problem when I stream songs via wifi from the KEF ios streaming app. The stuttering issue only occurs when I try to play via Spotify Connect on the LS50. I even tried a wired network connection but the problem remains. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
