Qobuz connect

[jamesrfisher]

I have just updated my app and now have Qobuz connect. They say it's a trial. Unfortunately it doesn't work with either my Primare amp or Bluesound Node.

Is anyone else trialing it and if so how is it?

Which app did you update, exactly?

 

[jamesrfisher]

The iOS app. It's also available on the Mac desktop app.

Yes, well neither Bluesound or Primare are listed in the question about being integrated with Qobuz Connect. So I guess that means they aren't.

Yes, I looked at that. Was wondering if if anyone else is able to use it and if so what the feedback is.

Since it's new manufacturers will have to update their firmware to be compatible if possible. For example Heos become Tidal Connect compatible only in the last year.

Check your manufacturer website for more information be it Primare etc

neither Bluesound

I wonder if they will adopt Qobuz, I currently use Tidal Connect with Bluesound but had to move to that from Amazon Music as they don't "play together" either.

I quit Qobuz recently as no connection feature and TIDAL had become cheaper.
I like TIDAL but I can’t stand no new releases on tha APP so I still use Qobuz app to discern new releases on a Friday !

Qobuz Connect is now officially launched, and apparently many manufacturers will adopt it. The piece is here on WHF. HEOS is apparently imminent across Denon and Marantz products.

Unfortunately, despite a recent firmware update, my Yamaha R-N800 is not compatible with Qobuz connect I called Yamaha and they didn't seem to know anything about when or if they will be making it available as a feature in the future. I updated both the desktop and iOS Qobuz apps but nothing shows up. The customer service guy at Yamaha said he would pass it on to the development team as a suggestion.

As I said, it will be up to the manufacturers to enable it if possible, as sometimes a hardware change will be necessary - meaning you'd have to wait for a new model.

As you said... yes...
I was simply providing some feedback as requested by jamesrfisher re: the situation with Yamaha products. If enough people call in and request it Yamaha may come out with a firmware update with no need to buy new gear. They have it implemented already in some of their products.

Have they implemented it in some of their products? It may be in older products, irrespective of brand, it may not be possible as new hardware will be required.

I know theres complaints on blue sounds face book pages about it not being available yet, and the chatter is that it will be months.

Do you think they'll ever do it, they've never done so with Amazon Connect and they've had years to.

I can't see how they cannot, you can't position yourself as a high res streamer and not support both high res platforms, it will affect your sales.

Qobuz are supported.
Qobuz connect simply unavailable.

I was playing through Qobuz connect today. It is available if the manufacturers want.

Amazon Connect does not exist

If they can do it in firmware I'm sure they will. But sometimes a hardware change will be needed. HEOS is now Qobuz Connect ready across several Denon and Marantz players, but not all.
