Hi all,

bought an Essence yesterday and got everything up and running also Spotify Connect. In the Spotify App I can choose a bitrate for streaming. Is my understanding correct, that the app tells the Essence to start a streaming from the spotify server and the iPad can then be switched off? But how to tell the Essence what bitrate to use?

Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Spotify connect always streams with 320 kbps:

Hi Räuber,

great, thanks for the information.

I used a fixed IP for the cable-ethernet interface and it seems, that the Essence resets this to DHCP after power-loss... Is this only my device or does anyone else have this problem as well?

Regads, Marcus
