Any plans to add Qobuz Connect to Rose RS150b?

I’m sorry. Currently, we are prioritizing software stabilization rather than adding new features.
We will let you know if Qobuz connect can be added later.
Thank you
As far as I know Qobuz Connect is not yet available from Qobuz. They promised it would be introduced last year but it wasn’t. It is now in Beta testing.
Your question should be directed to Qobuz and not HiFi Rose.
The example you have given is not called Qobuz Connect. This is an example of Qobuz connecting via Chromecast or Airplay. It is not the same as say, Tidal Connect or Spotify Connect which allows the use of the Tidal or Spotify native app as the controller when connected to a compatible receiver. As an example, Tidal Connect will allow me to connect to a pair of old Sonos One ( non Airplay ) speakers using the Tidal App as the interface.
I cannot do this with Qobuz.
I corresponded with Qobuz as recently as December last year and they confirmed Qobuz Connect was still “ work in progress” and is yet to be released.
They are many posts on the internet about this.
@Martini , yes you’re right. I should have done my homework before posting the question. It seems like Qobus only support chromecast and do not have their own connect feature yet. I have just began to test Qobuz, and didn’t look closely enough at the icon in the “casting menu”, as they are calling the menu “Q connect”.
Qobuz Connect is now avalaible in the Qobuz app. And Hi-Fi Rose is listed as compatible at their website

Any plans to update the Rose players to support Qobuz Connect? As it stands now it doesn’t work.

@ROSEHAN, @ROSELOA, Qobuz has identified HiFi Rose as being compatible with Qobuz connect, but it appears not to be working. Why is it not working?

The focus 2 years ago was on stability - which was fine - the absence (STILL!) of Tidal Connect - and the recently launched QOBUZ connect of course not being available - is verging on ridiculous.
If I’d known that features other manufacturers roll out as a matter of course would be years in the making (if indeed they are on the development path at all) I’d have seriously considered buying something else other than ROSE - I invested in an RS130 and RD160 3 months ago on the basis I was buying into a state of the art software platform…how wrong I’ve been proved to be!
The slowness and lack of drive to bring these features to the streamers says so SO much…. 🫤

…so it’s really not that difficult.
I’m wondering the same. My app is also updated.
An ETA notice from Hifi Rose would be warmly welcomed!
Even my Marantz Cinema 30, which didn’t support Qobuz before, supports now Qobuz connect via Heos….
Come on HifiRose, you can do it also

Je me joins à tous pour demander une mise à jour Qobuz Connect pour les appareils Rose…pas normal qu’une entreprise comme Hifi Rose ne puisse accéder à notre demande…surtout quand on voit le prix des appareils !!

@ROSEHAN: I know Rose didn’t het plan to implement Qobuz Connect. However, we see there’s a popular demand, so please reconsider.
Surely Qobuz can provide you an API and has thought of ways for you to easily implement their connect functionality?
Considering the Rose software platform is Android, there don’t seem to be too many hurdles. Or are we missing anything here?
Kindly awaiting your response.

If I understand correctly, Qobuz Connect works with the EA version. So, please be patient…
It does work, I did the update this morning.
A statement from HiFi Rose at the start of all this questioning would have saved a lot of unnecessary annoyance. Instead, 5 days ago in a related thread we were told there were no further plans for Qobuz Connect. Confusing.
Bon c’est déjà une bonne nouvelle si Qobuz Connect fonctionne en EA…on fait comment pour se mettre en EA ?
