My dealer advised today that B&O have confirmed that Spotify will not be available on BS5 from May.

Thanks. I'll check when I'm home this weekend.
Auto update disabled 😛

So I had a look at the Behringer UCA222 (about $60 so not too bad).  But I don't understand how you connect, say a Chromecast Audio to it... there appears to only be RCA audio inputs on the UCA222, so do I then need to use a headphone to RCA converter to attach a Chromecast Audio to the Behringer UCA222?

 

Has anyone setup up a workable Spotify Connect solution directly to BeoMaster 5?  Keen to hear some specifics.

 

Many thanks in advance.

I asked the same question of Steve at Sounds Heavenly.  I am sure he wont mind me sharing his reply and links.

 

"Thanks for your enquiry, first you need the USB adapter to connect to the Beomaster 5:-

This cable will connect the Chromecast Audio to the USB adapter above (a 1m Chromecast cable can be supplied free of charge with the USB adapter on request - please ask for this when you order the USB adapter):-
