Spotify’s Windows 11 app gets a new quality feature FIRST, and high-end audio fans are going to love it

Spotify has introduced a feature called Exclusive Mode for Windows desktop users, which enhances audio quality by allowing Spotify to take full control of audio processing, ensuring Bit Perfect playback. This feature is currently exclusive to the Windows version, with plans for a Mac release in the future. To activate Exclusive Mode, users must use the latest version of the Spotify app on Windows 11 (version 1.2.84 or higher) and select a specific output device that is not set to the system default. While Exclusive Mode is enabled, no other audio applications can be used through the selected device, and it is designed solely for music playback.
