Hands on with Yamaha's Spotify Connect AV receivers Sep 7th 2013, 14:15 Spotify's new Connect service was launched this week and audio device makers used the IFA electronics show to launch the first wave of products that tie into it. I tried it out with the Yamaha RX-A830, a $900 audio receiver that also supports Pandora and Rhapsody streaming on some models. Spotify Connect allows home audio equipment such as speakers and amplifiers to directly stream content from the popular Internet music service. To use the feature, you'll first need a Spotify Premium account. These cost $10, €10, or £10 depending on your country. And you'll also need to download the Spotify Connect app, which is currently available for iPhone and iPad. Android and desktop versions are promised "in the coming months." The service works in a similar way to the Google's recently-launched Chromecast dongle for TVs.
