I'm a QoBuz user but didn't receive the email, what is Qobuz connect?
I was a Qobuz Beta Tester and a founding member of the Qobuz Club. Here is the link to the article. I apologize if it doesn't work. Not sure if I can post it? https://club.qobuz.com/c/qobuz-news/qobuz-club-exclusive-preview-of-qobuz-connect-in-beta-version |
@mofimadness The link worked using my Qobuz ID/pswd. Thanks. |
Now we wait for streamer support. Years ago when I had Spotify, Spotify Connect worked great. When I moved to Tidal I found that Tidal Connect to be pretty bad. It would glitch out at least once a week forcing me to remove and reinstall the app. After switching to Qobuz 2 yrs ago, I have been putting up with Bluesound's rather limited, embedded "Qobuz app".... Which leaves a lot to be desired. A well integrated Qobuz Connect would be most welcome! |
Not sure what you are referring to. I simply plugged in a Roon Nucleus+ appropriately and opened the Roon app. The app found it on my network and upon entering the password it was ready to operate. Plugged in an outboard 2 TB drive and Roon cataloged all of that music, much of that is DSD. My experience is everyone has a different experience. Glad you like the Manic Moose. Regards, barts

Most of the time, I run Roon on an SGC/ST with a BDP endpoint as well. Sometimes just for kicks I will switch back to Manic Moose to listen to Radio Paradise as the MM RP app, to my ears, has a little better sound stage. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the RP app vs ROON. What I was referring to was the Lumin requiring a hard reboot to become ROON ready. But it is possible that information is stale and it's easier to switch now. |
Have never listened to radio paradise. If my sound stage got any bigger it would be out of proportion. I started out with a BDA-3.14 (which is a BDA-3 with a raspberry Pi internally, hence the 3.14). The internal streamer kept on locking up. Talked to Bryston and fat story slim they replaced it with a BDA-3 (free. no shipping either way, no tax) amazing customer service. The thing I did like about MM (via a pc) was that it simply gave the URL to the 3.14 and then stepped out of the way. No music going thru a pc. The Nucleus+ is outputting a digital stream to the BDA. I can't say where it lands on the good, better, best scale. But it sounds fabulous through my system which includes a Ref6 and a bunch of Pass amps. Yesterday I received a Roon Nucleus Titan, not in the system yet. I bought it because I am going to "try" to use the built in room correction and wanted the additional processing power it affords. Weirdly, to me, it came with the Titan and a power cord and nothing else...zero, nada, nothing! I guess they expect everything should be done on-line. Regards, barts |
