WiiM solution to Spotify Lossless

Currently, a solution for Spotify lossless on the Linn DSM's, you can use a WiiM media streamer .
This setup will play at the quality of your Linn DSM – playback uses the Linn DSM’s audio clock, meaning that jitter from the source device’s clock will be removed.

Note: This will ONLY work with Linn DSM, not a Linn DS.

Plug a TOSLINK optical cable from the WiiM media streamer SPDIF OUT digital output directly into a Linn DSM TOSLINK digital input, and use the superior audio DAC of the Linn DSM. This will give you the full Spotify lossless, and any other WiiM supported streaming services into the Linn DSM.
