Does the Pure i-20 dock work with Spotify?
Mon, Mar 21 2011, 8:23AM
I'm really interested in buying one of these but before I take the plunge I wanted to make sure that this will work with streaming services such as Spotify and TuneIn radio. This may appear to be a daft qustion but when I tried using Spotify through my Marantz CD6003's USB input it wouldn't work and kept "Timing Out". Does anyone have any experience with using Spotify on the i-20?

Thanks for the reply Andy. I already have Spotify premium and it's fantastic. Just need the dock now to make it sound even better. I'm off to buy myself an i-20!
Do you use yours with the internal DAC?

Yes, I use it with the DAC built into the i20, which bypasses the one in my iPhone. Much better.
Hi tonyaxe, yes I do. The i-20 works perfectly with Spotify, I use it with my kitchen micro system all the time, no problem. Obviously you'll need to subscribe to Spotify Premium for playback on an iPod/iPhone, and have a wi-fi connection, but otherwise it should work a treat.
