Just got rid of my excellent receiver, because the Spotify Connect didn't work anymore. Bought the STR-DN1080 yesterday because of great reviews and features i.e. Spotify Connect and Chromecast. 

It sounds great, but it turns out that in the European models, is not possible to wake the receiver from standby using Spotify Connect, dlna or Chromecast!!!!

That totally stinks! The is no info on it in the manual or the official webpage.

So I bought a piece of gear that doesn't work the it should because of some strange limitation on European models????

It's going and do is my trust in Sony (I'll keep my phone, headphones, tablet and cameras though - they are great!)

I feel you have cheated me, Sony!

Denon, here I come!
