Qobuz still messed up
Takes forever to load upon start up and then stops, long pause, and then next song in playlist starts, or rather stutters, stops and the process is repeated. Pretty sure it's Qobuz and not Roon since it happens with both Roon and MConnect. Pity.
@cleeds I just changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 Can someone post a Qobuz track that won’t play on roon right now so I can test it? |
I haven't read the entire thread, so forgive me if I am being redundant. It sounds like you are not getting the data fast enough due to low bandwidth or interruptions in the data. I sometimes have similar issues. Does anyone know if internet service providers throttle data streams when the load is heavy? |
On a side note to audiophiles. If you are able. In settings clear the cache before you listen. And clear the cache again before you listen to the same track the second time. Big sonic difference. Otherwise you are listening to the recorded file stored on your device. Not the direct stream. This may not be available on your hardware. I use a Win 11 computer with Qobuz app wired with Cat8 cable. (yes cat 8 sounds better than cat5 or 6 and different Cat8 cables sound different. ) Not thru a browser. In settings it shows where the cache file is located and the size. Flush the cache and listen to that same track again. |

I received a similar response from Qobuz last month a month after contacting them. I hope they fix it soon since I just renewed subscription for another year: Hello, Thank you for your message. Please excuse this delay, due to a high volume of requests. Some playback issues are currently affecting Qobuz, particularly when using certain applications or audio quality settings. Our teams have identified the source of the problem. It is related to a caching anomaly within our content delivery network (CDN). In some cases, certain servers may temporarily deliver incomplete or corrupted audio files. As each audio quality corresponds to a different file, switching quality can sometimes resolve the issue by loading a correct version. We are actively working on resolving this situation. Our teams are currently identifying the affected tracks and progressively clearing the cache. Improvements should be visible very soon. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. Best regards, Nancy |
