Currently I run Spotify on an iPad mini and use Airplay to output music via Toslink to my DAC without any problems (and reasonable sound quality).

I've tried direct streaming to a Sonore Rendu renderer which did not work and was told by Sonore that Spotify is not supported. I've now tried direct streaming through a PS Audio DirectStream DAC fitted with Bridge II (their renderer) and also had no success. The problem could be hardware related but I wondered whether the solution might lie with settings on MinimServer and / or MinimStreamer.

Two suggestions, neither of which I've tried or can guarantee will work with your setup. First, bit of a long-shot but try using Cambridge Audio's app as your control point as, if I get it right, it features Spotify Connect. If this app recognises your renderer you may be sorted. Alternatively, have a go at stetting up Audio Cast on BubbleUPnP, as this is supposed to capture audio from most music apps (such as Spotify). Good luck - sorry I can't help you any further with this
