When you launch Spotify Connect, simply select the Expert 140 Pro as an output device and the Devialet will automatically make the switch. I've done this many times in the recent week with my Expert 220 Pro and it works flawlessly.
Specifically, does the Expert need to have its input set to Spotify first in order for Spotify Connect to work? Or, with the Expert set to any other input, when you launch Spotify on your device, can you select the Expert and the Expert will automatically switch to Spotify input?
By the way, I was amazed at how good Spotify premium sounds directly via Devialet. Previously I had used a Bluesound Node 2 connected to my previous Devialet unit -- a 200 -- and the direct method is leagues better.
Devialet Expert 220 Pro Kinki EX-M7 power amp tethered to a fiber-fed Lumin X1 streamer via Grimm XLRs, Vivid B1 Decade speakers in Rosso Barchetta red (only 200 produced in a limited edition), Roon Nucleus with a Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD, etherREGEN switch fed by a Sonore opticalModule (and Sonore-supplied transceivers and 1M optical cable) with a SOtM dCBL-Cat7 cable to my Nucleus and a DH Labs Reunion Cat8 to my Lumin T2 streamer, Keces P8 linear power supply feeding a (to come) NUC and EtherREGEN switch with an external AfterDark OCXO clock., and opticalModule (5V/1A), AudioQuest Niagara 1000 power conditioner, ASI LiveLine loom (purchased directly from Franck Tchang when I lived in France), Less Loss Firewall for Speakers and Roon lifetime license with Tidal streaming.
