Sound quality on FireTV

Sound quality on FireTV

What is the sound quality Spotify is using on FireTV?

 

320kbps/16bit/44Khz? 

 

Highest quality?

 

It seems that the sound output is not of the highest quality setting.

The FireTV uses Spotify Connect which uses the highest quality setting of 320kbps.

It doesn´t seem so.

The sound is much worse than that of a windows notebook connected to the same DAC over USB.

 

It sounds like overprocessed 128kbps...

 

How do you know they are using 320kbps?

I don't have an FireTV to test it out, but I know that Spotify Connect streams directly from Spotify's server and uses the highest quality.

 

Sorry I can't be much help here.

Agreed. My fire tv app sounds horrid. Wish there was a setting to change. Was there ever an official reply from support.
