The good news is that the latest Qobuz update addresses my original issue with the sample rate jumping about. Here's the blurb...

The latest video on PS Audio's YT channel saw our Paul explaining to a noob the best way to stream audio cheaply. He pretty much described my setup, that is: Window 10 PC, DragonFly DAC, Qobuz etc... but he also stated that Windows/Apple software will ruin the audio quality and that you need to...

Thank you for looking into this so thoroughly, it all makes a bit more sense now

I've have a desktop PC running windows 10, an Audioquest Dragonfly Red DAC and some Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2 active speakers. I don't think I can adjust the DAC volume but I believe it does boost the signal. What else could be causing the clicking at high volumes? Thanks very much...

Thank you for your reply, I'll have a look at the Equalizer APO app. On your second point, if I set the volume to 100% the speakers start clicking which is why I don't go past 75%. I think there is a way to lower the input level on my active speakers though so I will have another play around...

Here's another question: can the volume output level from the PC affect the how music sounds? I could be imagining it but, if I have the PC set to 1/4 volume (as recommended by Audioquest) the bass sounds a bit weak, but if I increase the PC volume to 3/4 and reduce the speaker volume...

I didn't have Dolby Atmos so I installed it and it does appear to work well with the exclusive mode on Qobuz. The only problem is: I'm on a free 7 day trial of Atmos, after that I'd have to pay a one off £15 - which I've not completely ruled out - I'll see how I feel next week. Thank you for...

I use Qobuz on my Windows 10 PC, an external DAC and some active desktop speakers. I'd like to give the Bass a little boost when the volume is low, are there any free apps that will work with Qobuz when it's in it's WASAPI exclusive mode? Thanks very much and all the best for the New Year!

I think Niallivm nailed it in post #13 but thanks for your comment. Interesting that proprietary apps like Roon and Linn seem to iron out problems with Qbz.

It doesn't seem to make a difference

I've just done exactly the same and it's all good.

Yes, that all makes sense. At least they appear to know about the problem. It will be a good test of the company to see how quickly they sort it out. Top sleuth!

Good find! If i don't get any joy from contacting Qbz directly, I'll drop something over there and will definitely have a read through too. Thanks

Thanks for your input, hopefully if a few of us are experiencing and reporting this problem, they will get it sorted. And I hope they do because I'm not keen on Tidal's MQA rendering of Bass. On my setup it's too heavy and crude and masks a lot of the finer detail, It does work with certain...

Ok, I've cleared the cache and played a few songs from the Classic Rock Playlist on Qobuz... Hotel California plays at 96kHz correctly Sweet Home Alabama plays at 96 correctly Another Brick in the Wall plays at 44 correctly La Grange plays at 96 correctly Bad Moon Rising plays at 96...
