Qobuz available in US


Recommended Posts

I guess Qobuz has changed its policy. In the past, signing up for their streaming service via a VPN server in France and paying with PayPal worked just fine. What exactly happened when you tried to pay?

I got a pop that told me I was from a country outside their allowed market. And this was with VPN connection. So either they can sniff us out, or I was just incompetent with my attempt. Thx.

I signed sucessfully to Qobuz from my home.. I installed Tunnelbear (TB) VPN, I connected to TB.. I choose a server in England.. Then I when to Qobuz..( I got the english version) Created an account.. login name, email, and password. I signed for the monthly Hi-Fi with the 15 days free trial.. I choose to pay using paypal.. I clicked pay with paypal, my PP account opened.. Qobuz assume that the email you signed is the email in PP.. in my case this is different.. soo I just typed my email for PP and finished the transaction. Sucesss!

 

Opened Audirvana+ and connected to Qobuz.. exploring their music catalog now..

I started from scratch following your instructions and succeeded. Trick was to make a totally new account while inside tunnel bears tunnel, so to speak. Now that my lumin is set to stream Qobuz, I'm good to go. Seems already superior in inventory and suggested music to Tidal! Thx.

Is it gapless with the Lumin, it wasn't for me on the web player/windows app?

Am using lumin app on an iPad. I'm embarrassed to say I cannot tell. There is a slight silence between movements of symphonies, but seems no worse than on many CDs. Can you explain what I'm looking for?

The album I used was 'Caught Up' by Millie Jackson, there should be zero gap between track 1 & 2, it's not classical music but try it..
