Pretty sure they are covering that angle of it, since high-res and Roon kind of go hand in hand, and I believe I'd read that Roon was one of the companies that got early access to it so they could begin development. Qobuz seems to have hired people for the US who are very aware of the audiophile market (unlike the others, who treat us as an afterthought or an annoyance), so support will probably come sooner than it would under other circumstances.I'd love to give Qobuz a shot but I'm gonna wait until it integrates with Roon the way Tidal does.
I didn’t sign up from the app I signed up straight from qobuz , that is why there is confusion as to how I was able to get in and others have not , when I downloaded the qobuz app on my phone I logged in using the username and password I setup on there site.Curious again. When you go into your account settings like @ashok did in post #106, what Plan does it say you have. HiFi or Studio?
Yes somehow I was able to sign up for the tier higher than cd quality at the time I figured the site was up and running for the U.S. so I chose that one . My Dac shows 24/192 when I’m streaming .I re-read your posts from earlier, and now understand your setup. MConnect Seems like a nice app...
With regard to my subscription itself, the price is $25 per month plus tax. I just assumed that it was the Euro to $ conversion that raised the price to $25 - forgot about Apple's surcharge.
But the key point is that the subscription tier is "Hi-Fi". Qobuz's website clearly says that "Hi-Fi" is limited to CD quality streaming. The "Studio" level offers higher than CD quality, but that wasn't available for selection in the Apple store.
Were you somehow able to sign up for the "Studio" tier?
What does your DAC tell you about the sampling frequency of the incoming data?
Btw mconnect so far has been very good at tying in all my music in one place and playing back whichever I like in a seamless process .I re-read your posts from earlier, and now understand your setup. MConnect Seems like a nice app...

That’s a reasonable deal imo if your wanting both Tidal and Qobuz. For many of us however we’re thinking of jumping ship with Tidal for various reasons and going over to Qobuz for not various reasons , either way though that’s a good deal for both streaming companies.If this was already mentioned please excuse the redundancy. If you are running an earlier version of Audirvana and upgrade to 3.1 ($39) or buy it outright (I think it's $79) you can get 3 month free trials of both Tidal and Quboz. Currently I'm doing the Tidal trial, which btw sounds very good and after that I'll try out Quboz and decide from there. Audirvana still doesn't support Spotify but hopefully soon.
Ok. That wasn't clear to me in your posts.I didn’t sign up from the app I signed up straight from qobuz , that is why there is confusion as to how I was able to get in and others have not , when I downloaded the qobuz app on my phone I logged in using the username and password I setup on there site.

First impressions are that there is a lot more to choose from artist wise that I like than Tidal.

When you go into qobuz you’ll see so many European and world artists that it’s a bit overwhelming all of which I never saw on Tidal , lots of hirez classical if your into that as well . What I noticed of the bat though is that there are many many more hirez music than with tidal . You’ll have to do your own research though for specific titles because there are just to many .Can you tell us any specific titles that you see that are not available in Tidal.
One thing giving a working developer a buck, and another to give apple shareholders the buck.If me paying an extra $1 gives someone a job that’s great!

It's another ponzy that's too big to fail, till it does. . I didn't say that did I?That’s how it works, they had the foresite to buy the stock and I didn’t
Were you actually able to activate a trial? I tried this in an incognito browser window so I would not be logged in, and it is going right to the UK site regardless.It let me go through the sign-up process here.
