Does Spotify have a way to see if your computer is recording with your DAC’s stereo mix? And if so, is there a way around it?

    Which might be good for detecting if somebody somewhat widely distributed a recorded copy, but not if it was just for personal use. Also, if the capture process creates loss there’s a good chance it might degrade the watermark as well

      Not even just the capture process. Re-encoding the track to release it into anything lossy, even at a high bitrate, is going to destroy anything that’s inaudible. It would be like trying to read the microprint on the photocopy of a photocopy of a bank note. It’s not going to happen.
