I understand that since around 2018 Spotify Connect can be used without a Premium account, and for many devices this is indeed the case. But according Raspotify on Github Premium is needed to use Spotify Connect. Same for this freelinux project.

Just upgraded my home cinema system firmware via raspberry pi and spdif (coax). I was a bit mind blown by the fact that it can be done. Back to the subject, if you can stream to raspberry pi, just use spdif coax and https://github.com/mill1000/raspdif.
