I went out to buy the above yesterday.

It's a really great piece of kit, good sound quality, nicely built, etc.

However, one of the reasons I wanted it was to be able to stream Spotify through my main system.

Having found out that the Magic 6 doesn't support this, I started to look for alternatives.

Apart from Sonos (which sounded poor in comparison), can anyone suggest another, similar, product to the Magic 6 which does work with Spotify?

Cheers.

Surprised that you say "Sonos sounded poor by comparison". Surely the DAC is in your Amp?, which I would expect to be the most important factor in sound quality (other than the source material, amp and speakers obviously).

The Magic 6 has a very good built in DAC and the sound difference was pretty noticeable.

Ah, ok makes sense.
