Oh FFS! That's not good. Such a shame. Was hoping it would perform exactly like the BeoSound 2.

Yes, that's what's happening. It's using "Spotify Connect" which is stated under the 'Beosound 2' name under a list of devices in Spotify. So only the iOS devices use Chromecast.
I always thought "Spotify Connect" was using Chromecast to make a direct connection to the speaker.

You are being gracious.

Spotify has its own protocol, called Connect.....which has nothing to do with CC or AP(2).
Just like the M3, the Edge has no support for Spotify Connect....neither has the Balance.
P.S.
It was mentioned, that the Balance will be updated for Spotify Connect
This might (?) create a hope

Hi Thomas. I can’t use Spotify connect with my beosound 2. It uses google Cast instead. Can you verify the Spotify connect?
