I am interested in testing QoBuz Connect but, unfortunately, it is not installed on my streamer. How hard is it for a manufacture to add QoBuz Connect capabilities to their streamer? Is this a simple software update or something more complicated.? Thanks....
Is Qubuz Direct really better
I have had Qobuz for several years now, and I see the Q direct came out last year. Is it really different and worth using. The way I am reading it you don't need the streamer app anymore and slightly better sound quality. What say you smart people?

@hgeifman -- QC currently works with 15 different.brands of streamers (and many of these have more than one model which works.) You'll need to contact the manufacturer of your model to see where they are in the process, or if they have even bothered to apply. A list of currently approved brands is available at Qobuz.com. |
I switched to Qobuz Connect and it makes it easier to stream Qobuz with my Innuos MK3 streamer instead of the Innuos app, which is fine otherwise. Sound wise I can’t say it’s that noticeable but if anything it’s as good if not better in my experience. I think it’s worth making the switch. Try it you’ve got nothing to lose and it’s another fun tweak for your system. |
mlsstl,Thanks for the information. Infigo Audio confirmed that they would update my Audiorvana release 2.11 to release 3.0 tomorrow on my IS-1 streamer. As you suggested, once the software update is completed, and working, I will request they add software to their steamer that will enable me to use QoBuz connect. I currently use Qobuz on my iPhone and it is sending the audio signal to my Apple TV using Apple Air Play (changed iPhone output to Apple TV). The Apple TV is connected to my TV using an HDMI cable and the TV sends the audio signal to my Schiit LIM DAC using an optical cable, etc. The enables me to listen to music. |
The upgrade from Audirvana release 2.11 to 3.0 on my Infigo Audio IS-1 streamer was just completed successfully. The new interface is noticeably more intuitive, and I especially like the addition of the Home tab that displays album history. Navigation between tabs feels much faster as well. After completing the update, I rebooted my iPad and reconnected without any issues. Everything is working perfectly and back to normal. Sound quality is good and more listening will be done tomorrow. I like Audirvana release 3.0. |
