The connection has everything you need. Typically, you will connect via Bluetooth. Is as usual a breeze. I really like Spotify Connect. The Teufel Radio 3sixty is shown in Spotify as an available device and can be controlled directly. DAB + is also a great thing. Finally listen to the radio without any noise and when you are connected to the internet via WLAN you can hear stations from all over the world.
