How does Qobuz rate on the musicians' compensation ranking?

Not sure, it's whatever the musicians and labels agreed to.

Is this for the US only, the European site has the same standard pricing as previous including the MP3 option?

Looking for more details.

I can't figure out how to sign up for Studio Premier.  I currently have an annual subscription to HiFi for $200 that expires in March 2020.

 

How do I switch to Studio Premier for $150 per annum (less a discount equal to the remaining value of my current Hifi subscription)?

 

Is this a response to Amazon or is there another service like Qobuz about to launch?

I'm giving Qobuz a try here guys.  I created an acct, and can log in on the website.  But I can't log into Roon/Qobuz, nor the webplayer using the same log in info.  Any ideas?

User error 😁

 

Not sure Chris. Try your username or your email as your username.

LOL  First thought too Chris.  I've tried everything.  I can log onto the Qobuz webpage perfectly, but not on webplayer nor Roon.  I guess I'll shoot QB an email.

Thanks bud!

Chris

Happy to see you signed up. It’s truly a music lovers dream. 
 

Hope it gets sorted soon.

Well, I hate to say it but 100,000 is still a rounding error in the market today and the price has dropped because high resolution is very hard sell. 

Inside every cloud is a black lining huh?

I saw no mention of territory in that article. In fact it quoted the US managing director.

Heos - no native compatibility within Heos or with Qobuz Connect using the native Qobuz app.  I wonder why?

The Heos team is to blame on this one. I won’t say more. It would be embarrassing for them.

Chromecast Audio - the native Qobuz app can be used to cast up to 24/96 FLAC to a CCA.

• For 24/192 FLAC from Qobuz, does the CCA of Qobuz server downsample to 24/96 FLAC?

CCA can’t resample data above its max rate. Qobuz or the app does the adjustment of either resampling or sending the appropriate sample rate from the cloud.

Sonos - not sure on the details.  I believe you can use a Qobuz app within the Sonos app, but not sure if you can use the native Qobuz app with the Connect feature.  

• Does anyone know if the native Qobuz app works with Sonos?
• Of course, the max resolution on Sonos is 16/44.1.

 

I’m unable to stream to a Sonos with the native Qobuz app. 
 

Integrating with Roon solves the issue though.
