Sony just confirmed to me that their 2015 line-up of receivers, do not support Spotify Connect, even while all specification sheets do mention it being supported. Too bad I already bought myself a STR-DN1060.
So the only option I now have is Google Cast. But that will not be supported by Spotify because of Spotify Connect. How stupid is that?

Great to hear. Mine was set to STR-DN1060 automatically, I assume they changed it recently...
Although, I just ran into the 50sec disconnection bug mentioned by Rizzer, even though I'm wired up.
Happened when I was controlling Spotify Connect from my phone, when the phone screen went off.
Then the receiver started saying it wasn't connected to internet anymore (Software updates failed to update, Connection status saying that Internet is not reachable). Forcing a new wired configuration and asking to retry a few times solved this.
And then Spotify Connect was working again...
So, the receiver also has big problems holding an Internet connection up, even though nothing changes.
I am also having issues with the Dn STR-1060 and Spotify connect, regardless of wifi or ethernet it drops connection in under a minute or the audio skips to the point it's worthless.
This isn't just happening occasionally either. I can count on one hand the amount of times it has worked properly. I have given up and resigned to using the PS4 for Spotify, but that means I need to turn the TV on and the PS4 when all I need is the receiver. Not sure if this is a Sony issue or a Spotify issue but I hope it gets sorted soon.
My DN-STR 850 worked perfectly for a couple of months; it would play for hours without a hiccup. A few days ago it would disconnect after after a few minutes. Now it disconnects after 1 minute or less. The receiver window indicates that it is switching from my phone to "BLUETOOTH", even though I'm not transmitting in Bluetooth. The receiver is hard-wired to my modem.
This is very frustrating. jim dougherty jdoughertydc-at-yahoo.
Also have this issue, although in my case it's very consistent. Stream stops every time after 1-2 minutes. Doesn't matter whether I use an Android of IOS device. Also wrote a complaint to Sony and hope to see it solved soon.
Anyone also having issue with Chromecast? streaming via Chromecast seem to work only half of the times. Sometimes I can connect a device, but the stream wont start (e.g. Tunein radio). In most cases it's not possible to make a connection at all.
This seem to be a common problem at the moment, several people experience problems with Spotify Connect dropping out.
Both Denon, Marantz & Sony receivers.

The last message I got from Spotify is that they are working on solving the case.

For more then a day Spotify Connect doesn't work for our STR-DN860, while it was working flawlessy.
We can cast Tunein, so this means the internet connection is working. Are more people still having this issue? I was thinking it had to do with the problems Denon users where having, but now i'm not sure anymore...
I just got the following message on Twitter from Spotify support:
"We have some great news! It should all be fixed now. You might have to try a quick reinstall to smooth everything out 🙂 Let us know if you have any trouble"

It works again 😀... But I had to remove all the personal settings to make it work again.
In the system options, select 'initialize personal information'. It's no hard reset fortunately , because the settings of the speakers are still there afterwards.
Still no luck here. Music randomly stops after 40-60 seconds.
It's a wired connection. I added a Wireshark screenshot which show there aren't any network technical issues. Seems to me that the receiver stops receiving packets OR the spotify servers stop sending. But i think the issue is in the sony receiver because the networking part of the receiver doesn't feel very stable. For instance, sometimes it takes al lot of time for the receiver to become available as spotify connect device. This can take up to 15 minutes.
