Qobuz Connect Feature

Function TIDAL / QOBUZ / SPOTIFY
#12

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!

#15

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 :wink::raising_hand_man:t2:

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…

#19

It does work, I did the update this morning.

#20

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.

#21

Bon c’est déjà une bonne nouvelle si Qobuz Connect fonctionne en EA…on fait comment pour se mettre en EA ?

#22

On the touchscreen, go to Settings > System Info > Use The Early Access Version > [TRY]

#23

Doesn’t work for me. I am on early access, but RS130 is connected via fiber ethernet.

#24

I’m considering selling my RS-151 and switching to another brand that has qobuz / Tidal connect. It must be possible to get this on hifi rose too🤷🏼‍♂️

#25

Yes, a lot of answers (and I’m here some years) from the “support” are confusing.
With the current beta, Qobuz Connect is working (you’ve to install after update the Qobuz app, login and agree for Qobuz connect).
But it’s not working smoothly. Like using an Eversolo streamer, you can have shortly after starting a new track glitches.
The occurs not every time and so I’m not sure that this can be a problem on the Qobuz side.

#26

je me suis mis en Early Access, et effectivement Qobuz Connect fonctionne, mais impossible de recharcher l’appli Rose Connect EA sur mon PC…du coup je suis repassé en Firmware officiel…on attendra

#27

I can confirm that Qobuz Connect works with wired Ethernet on my RS130, after installing the EA version of the 130 SW and FW (a FW update came up on my 130 after the EA SW was installed and rebooted), and the EA version of the Rose app.

This may be a Qobuz Connect issue, but when playing a Qobuz Playlist, each song that starts after the first song stutters for a moment or two when starting, but plays smoothly from there. When using Qobuz from within the Rose app, this does not happen when playing the same Playlist.

If you’re looking to sell your 151, check out Lyngdorf.

All the devices are a jack of all trades. I’m using the 3400 on @BorisM recommendation. I’m super happy with it. The room calibration with RoomRefect alone, which is more important to me than a fancy display, makes all the difference to the Rose. Qobuz Connect integration works flawlessly. Tidal Connect is also integrated (it’s been for a long time).

Or now also with a touchscreen.

Check out the website if you don’t want an amplifier.

Qobuz Connect runs smoothly on my TDAI. Just like Tidal Connect.

A lot of people here want it, and I have both services on Connect, so I don’t need it. I stream via Roon (no Muse… I do everything on Lyngdorf (RoomPerfect, Crossover, Vocings, etc.).

:v:t2:

The track start stutter does not occur with mConnect, either. I’m concluding at this point it’s likely a Qobuz Connect issue.

#31

Tried it on my RS130 (EA), and I guess it auto-updated. Qobuz Connect works! I have it connected via fiber ethernet, no studder for me. Time to cancel Roon.
