How best to get Spotify through my garage Hifi .
I have a rotel preamp and Quad 606 power amp with mission 753 speakers in the garage . Currently I control it through an echo dot . How best to get Spotify lossless to the Hifi whilst still being able to change my music selection via voice ( or phone ) .

I am no expert although maybe a WiFi dongle to connect system to WiFi and thus Spotify.

Works with my Sonos system

Would one of these work?

We use one to play Spotify in my ageing Hi-Fi set up in our dining room.

I have a garage system for my turbo trainer sessions

I originally just used a bluetooth dongle plugged into the 'aux' socket of a mini hifi

I now use a cheapo 24V amp (surprisingly good sound) with native bluetooth. playing into a pair of Mission bookshelf speakers hung from a roof joist.

Just stream from phone. When I walk into the garage, I turn on the amp, select b/t and in links to the phone automatically.

Thanks - I'm trying to get Lossless which blue tooth isn't "good" enough for .
I've bought a Wiim as recommended above, already delivered and will give it a try tonight

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions everyone

It'll do the job well; I use mine for AirPlay2 and it's faultless
