Music is UNIVERSAL and should be available as such. NO EXCUSES!!

It is a problem of copyright rights …

and figure out a way to get qobuz working on my raspberrypi network player other than roon

You could use Minimserver and Bubbleupnpserver on your nas (if you have one) or any computer with usb connected hdds , control points like Lumïn app or Kazoo (iOS and Android ) or Linn app (iOS only), RoPieee XL on raspberry with UPNP&DLNA enabled.

NB. Bubbleupnpserver is necessary to give OpenHome compatibility to the mentioned apps.

With this setup you can listen to your local library and to Qobuz without issues

email back saying that they would allow me to download the same album again when the label has supplied a corrected file, but this is no good because it takes forever for the label to do that

It seems a common (deplorable) practice …. it happened twice to me on PrestoClassical … the first time they refunded the amount and I could buy the physical cd, the second time the cd wasn’t available and I’ve never seen the downloaded album been corrected.

I checked the track “Shout at the devil” and it seems the HiRes version isn’t available anymore

On the Android app, please allow the music I bought at hi res to playback at hi res without me having to offline. Thanks!

It seems that’s an Android issue and some friends of mine solved it using this app

I'm not using a DAC

Then it probably depends on your device internal dac specs …

[stefano_mbp]

… sadly this is the downside of streaming services, all of them … you don’t buy the music, you just buy the right to listen to it …

@David Craff I found this album in the Qobuz store, it is quite “amazing” that the cover is the one of the original SACD but the bit depth/sample rate is 24/176.4.

Which is the origin of this album? An ibrid SACD contains the DSD version and the Red Book version (16/44.1) but I’ve never seen an ibrid SACD containing such a hires version besides the DSD one 

Can it be a downsample/transcoding of the DSD version? 

… one of the most irritating thing is the lack of informations about the origin of a download

UAPP uses public API to stream Qobuz tracks, it has no "permission" to download the complete tracks

That’s right afaik, tracks download for offline playback can be done with Qobuz app only

Neither the Lumin nor Linn Kazoo app on my phone seems to be able to log into Qobuz

They both work here

Hello, does anybody knows when Qobuz connect or a similar feature will be released? I own a cambridge 851n and am forced to use the Stream Magic App to remote control the streamer. There is no qobuz integration, e.g. I can not select qobuz on the front panel like I could select tidal.

but even when the Connect function is available you will have to wait for Cambridge Audio to integrate it into the 851n with some updates ...

@MikeyFresh @Dutchman

those settings are for the Qobuz app only, doesn’t affect any other app.

It seems more likely an account issue

[stefano_mbp]

there is definitely a conspiracy behind it … 😉

[stefano_mbp]

@Tinnitus Andronicus I may be wrong but you should use ASIO instead of WASAPI

MY MISTAKE. I thought I had the output set to Wasapi exclusive but it was set to Wasapi non exclusive so my PC was downsampling the stream. I switched it to Wasapi exclusive and it now plays tracks at the proper sampling rate.

👍

Since a few days the app shows only 50 playlists (I have over 170).

Can you see all of them using Bubbleupnp?

but I think using the native Qobuz application to stream via UPnP would be a good idea

They (Qobuz) are working on Qobuz Connect … sooner or later they will announce it, you’ll need anyway a streamer that will support that functionality

Qobuz Connect

Depends on platforms … it’s already available on WiiM, it must be implemented on devices side hoping the vendors will push a sw/firmware update

@stefano_mbp that’s not correct. Nobody has Qobuz Connect yet. 

… maybe … but this screenshot is then misleading 

[stefano_mbp]

Just now, Brantome said:

That’s a ChromeCast target

… should be better identified … “connect” under Qobuz logo is really misleading 

[stefano_mbp]

it seems clear that it is not a priority for them, no software requires so much time to be developed....unless we are talking about an integrated management system like SAP

[stefano_mbp]

@David Craff hi David I’m discussing with some friends about this album

https://www.qobuz.com/it-it/album/stravinsky-conducts-stravinsky-the-rite-of-spring-the-firebird-igor-stravinsky-columbia-symphony-orchestra/i00ye5vz1xbtc

that is defined as 24/92 but from a spectrogram analysis it seem to be actually a 24/48, it would be helpful a response from the source 

thank you
