Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday


Pretty sure Qobuz finally has their Connect working.

Started yesterday May 5th.

Not sure what devices have it, but my WiiM Ultra does.

Same with my Innuos.  Got a popup on my Qobuz app that connect was now available.  Checked and my iPad, Qobuz app, Zen MK3 and Sense app are up to date.  All on the same Wi-Fi network.  Connect sees my iPad but not my Innuos so still using the Sense app on my iPad to run Qobuz.  Hopefully will update and show soon so I can compare using both.  

What am I missing here...???....I really like the Innuos Sense app on my iPad or iPhone.  Very feature-rich, plus it lets me seamlessly play the files stored in my Zennith Mk3, as well as Qobuz, and Radio stations.

What is there to gain by switching to the Qobuz app?

For those not understanding, these "connect" apps, when implemented and supported on the streamer, allow you to pass off the URL of the stream directly to your streamer such that it is no longer going through your cellphone or iPAD or computer. Your cellphone, iPAD, or computer at that point is only acting as a remote control. You can start a stream and turn your phone off if you want or leave and the music continues to play. It is early. Give them time to roll out updates to other streamer companies. It won't happy overnight. As we know, software on even some expensive streamers simply isn't updated very often by the small boutique companies and is often the weakest link in an otherwise great hardware implementation.

Count me among those who don't quite understand the virtue of Qobuz Connect for my gear.  I can already have Qobuz continue to play through my BluOS app even if I turn off my iPhone.

It also gives you all of the features of the direct app.  Like reviews, editorial content, more info than what a 3rd party app does.  Kinda like Roon, but maybe not as extensive.
