Spotify Lossless available on the McIntosh DS200, McIntosh MSA550 and McIntosh MX123

Good news! Spotify Lossless high-resolution music streaming is available on the McIntosh DS200 audiophile network player/DAC, the McIntosh MSA5500 integrated network amplifier/player, and the McIntosh MX123 audio-video processor.
Following Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and most recently Qobuz Connect, McIntosh is now offering Spotify Lossless (see our news article "Spotify Lossless, finally!") across its three models: the McIntosh DS200, McIntosh MSA5500, and McIntosh MX123. Hi-Res Audio Quality with Spotify Lossless: As a reminder, Spotify Lossless lets you enjoy your favorite music tracks in up to 44.1 kHz/24-bit FLAC quality. A Spotify Premium subscription is required, and you'll need to activate Lossless audio by selecting "Media Quality" in the app's settings. Note that while the McIntosh DS200 and McIntosh MSA5500 have Spotify Lossless available immediately, the McIntosh MX123 requires a firmware update, following these instructions: • Settings > General > Firmware > Update > Check for Updates > Update > Start Update The McIntosh MX123 must be connected to the internet to perform the update. It might seem obvious, but it's worth mentioning...
