STREAMING QUALITY

Is there any difference in sound quality of say a/Tablet b/Cell Phone when streaming Spotify


I have downloaded MusicCast on both phone and tablet. Recognises my Yamaha WXA-50 on Oppo phone, but not Lenovo Tablet.
Getting a bit mystifying for an old bugga

Over Bluetooth yes WiFi/ethernet no:

I never thought there would be. It's compressed music being compressed again over Bluetooth but there is a massive difference in sound quality between my son's phone £500 ROG phone 4 and my phone £180 Motorola, streaming Spotify to a Bluetooth receiver connected to an old amp at work.
Over WiFi/ethernet, whichever method you've used to connect your Yamaha, there shouldn't be a difference in sound quality with any UPnP enabled app as essentially your phone/tablet is just a remote control

Thanks very much.

Over Wifi your phone instructs Spotify to stream to your Yamaha, as Dirk said, it's like a remote, so regardless of the device you use the sound quality will be the same and consistent.

Your Lenovo tablet may not be working because it may be old and require a newer version of Android. That's about the only reason I can think of. I'm an agnostic phone user - I've alternated between iPhones and Android ones, but for tablets best stick to Apple iPads.
