I hope that you did not share that fun fact with your son. Now he can prank you at any moment.
Can Qoboz Connect sound better than Qobuz viz Aurender Conductor?
Experience that does not make sense. In my system, streaming directly via Qoboz Connect produces better sound than streaming via Qoboz through Aurender Conductor app. Sound is more intense and liquid and soundstage is larger. (I dislike this lingo but in brief sound is more analog.) Does Quboz Connect somehow organize stream in a better way than other pathway? You would think Aurender would optimize its app for its streamers. Mine is an Aurender N150 that feeds a Berkeley Audio Design (BAD) Alpha USB 2, which in turn feeds a BAD Alpha Reference DAC 2. USB and AES/EBU cables are Audioquest Diamond. See my profile for description of entire system.

@bosssound True. 🙂. But now I can also do it to him. Lol. For some odd reason, when I pull up the Sense app for my Innuos streamer, it will often find my son's Wiim streamer and try to play over it instead of the Innuos. I'll wonder why I'm not getting sound. It's because it's playing upstairs on my son's system.

Interesting. I just tried both and actually preferred conductor for my N150 > M3. I did a Gemini AI search to try to make sense of any differences. 2 primary differences: The biggest being SSD caching for conductor vs real time buffering for QC & the second being a “Signal Path & "Processing Tax" with conductor being the most direct route. |
@audphile1 True! Lol. Papa Roach was the perfect song for the moment. |
