Trying Qobuz Connect For the First Time

@tuberist 

I migrated away from Roon because of the frequent and sometimes problematic updates.

Same here, plus the messy support system which essentially has you doing the leg work for them when there is a problem (often of their own making because software updates crashed something).

I have an Antipodes server and recently tried switching from Roon to Squeeze, as it is touted as sounding better. That is something of an understatement, it is a significant upgrade in sound. This was after the big April Roon update, though maybe they have improved things since. I miss Roon UI greatly, but I am addicted to the Squeeze sound and not sure I can go back.

@zlone Jplay is just a hair down from Squeeze for clarity, and it is just a hair or two down from Roon for UI. Give it a try (if you haven't already). And it is much less expensive than Roon. 

FWIW I noticed zero sonic difference after this "huge" April Roon update. Same delta between Roon and Squeeze as there was before. 

@mclinnguy  I have a JPLAY license, though it is not technically supported by Antipodes, there are ways to kludge it. I can also skip the server altogether I think and go straight to my network dac. Maybe I will try it again. 

@zlone 

Yes, it is supported. Use MPD/Minimserver, and there are zero licences/fees for using those. 

Although my DSD files don’t go to my DAC natively at the moment with this setup, they are sampled to 384 khz, everything else works like a charm. Kludge is not a word I would use here, I am not the "techiest" guy, and I had it up and running with complete Qobuz integration in about 5 minutes. I have only had Jplay for a few months, and it is one of those moments where I told myself I should have done it years ago.
