Qobuz + Lumin = Headache

Hi all, I have been using Qobuz through my Lumin U2mini and Lumin app.  I find the Lumin app to be slow and clunky.  It doesn't have the ability to easily add one song to a playlist, no radio etc.  If I stream from the Qobuz app which is much better, I have to airplay to my Lumin.  

I am trying Tidal which has a "connect" with Lumin and it is way way better.  Before I give up on Qobuz/Lumin combo wanted to reach out to the breathren for any advice.  I will not use Roon.  I could fill a page with my frustration with roon....

Try Qobuz Connect and bypass the Lumin app. I’m using Connect with an audio optimized fanless mini PC, Bluesound Node 2i, Cambridge Audio CXN V2, and WiiM Pro in various sett ups. Works quite well in all of the above.

The Lumin U2 Mini supports Qobuz Connect. I would just use that, and it won't cost you anything extra to use the Qobuz app instead of Lumin's. It will probably sound better too.

I auditioned a U2 Mini late last year and didn't use the Lumin app at all. I used Qobuz via Roon and Qobuz Connect.
