Hmm, technically your friend shouldn't be facing any problems in any country. Ask him to write to support and mention the countries where he was unable to use Qobuz... Hope they are able to solve the problem, if not, there's always VPN ^__^

It does stream 192 KHz. You should see the blue light illuminate on your Hugo 2 which indicates that the DAC's receiving a 192 KHz signal.

Hmm, where did you read that iPhone/iPad don't support bit perfect, Richter? As far as I'm aware, they definitely do. In fact, there are several bit perfect players on the app store. Whether Qobuz on iOS supports bit perfect or not, I'm not entirely sure, but the CCK or iOS is definitely not...

PM'ing you. I don't have a promo code, but Qobuz offers a free trial to new sign ups.

iPad Pro

@Richter Di Hey, did you update the app to V.4.0.22? If so, is it stable? I'm still on V.4.0.14 and wondering if I should update lol.

Hello, I don't doubt that your equipment is good, but regardless of your equipment or the accuracy of your tests, I don't agree with the “I got the ears" part. Listening is very subjective, and respectfully, if you don't hear a difference between 16 bit and 24 bit, doesn't mean others don't...

Hey, I understand how you feel, they should at least announce a launch date. But, If you would like to try Qobuz right now, I can PM you how. You can avail of the free trial. But, the only thing is that after the free trial ends, you'll have to pay for the monthly subscription in GBP/EUR until...

Hey Nik, I have no experience with the Qobuz mac app. Contact Qobuz support with your query. In case they reply that it's not bit perfect, there's a really good bit perfect player called “AUDIRVANA" that supports both Qobuz hi-res and Tidal MQA streaming. :relaxed:

Qobuz has finally launched a monthly version of its hi-res streaming service. It's called “Studio". http://blogsv2.qobuz.com/qobuz-blog-en/2018/10/10/qobuz-studio-launch-the-first-monthly-and-unlimited-hi-res-streaming-subscription/ . It doesn't offer any discount on music purchases like the...

Thanks for the heads up, Richter. I wouldn't have updated anyway. I mean, look at that ugly app icon! I wonder who the f*ck at Qobuz decided this looks better than the previous icon. It's like they want to fail. :unamused:

Hey, that all french Qobuz was a long time ago, every section of Qobuz is now available in english, the app has undergone a complete UI redesign and I see more US/UK artists on the featured page than before. When I subscribed to the 3 month trial and downloaded the app, I was really surprised by...

Give it time, I went from Apple Music (atrocious) to Qobuz to Tidal. I'm not an audiophile, but after using Qobuz for a while, Tidal tracks did seem “fuller" initially. However, after extensively going back and forth between them, there came a point that I could no longer use tidal, that...

Hey, even though Qobuz doesn't offer a trial for Sublime+, there are two ways you can still check whether your broadband is good enough or not: 1. Qobuz has a hi-res playlist that even non-subscribers can stream: http://open.qobuz.com/album/2018012900000 But, since all the tracks on that...

I subscribed on Qobuz UK as well. But, I think I know what happened: You created a new account and Qobuz gave you the standard 30 days trial offer. If you had created your account and clicked on the the link I mentioned in my post, you would've got the 3 months :triportsad:

You'll find that the sound quality is better than tidal (hopefully). I can't really describe it in audiophile terms, but qobuz tracks are more “precise" if that makes any sense lol. As far as the music catalog is concerned, I don't think there'll be a song that's on tidal that you won't find on...

Hey, I'm sure you'll love Qobuz! :smile: Also, I agree that they should offer those who only want to stream 24 bit an option to subscribe on a monthly basis, but I think they can't offer that due to their contracts with the record labels...

Qobuz is now offering a 3 month free trial of its 16 bit HiFi tier subscription! Here's the link: https://try.qobuz.com/specialoffer-dl-3month-en1/?price1= . If you haven't tried qobuz, now's your chance! :grin:

Here you go: http://www.meridianunplugged.com/downloads/MQA_List.csv The list is updated frequently :grin:

Hey, did anyone have a chance to audition the Susvara with Trafomatic Audio's Primavera amp at CanJam? :blush:

Thanks for the update, Richter! :smile: Sooo tempted to re-subscribe, but I need to wait till I upgrade my gear :grin:

Hmm, do you have any evidence to support this? It could've been a bug that later got fixed in an update. If you go through @Richter Di's posts in this thread, he also faced a similar issue where his hi-res purchases were getting downloaded as 16 bit. This issue was fixed in the latest update. I...

Hello! :grin: I'm glad you're enjoying Qobuz and thanks for letting us know that the iOS app is better now! :blush:

Let's give them some time to work out all the bugs :blush: They'll be launching in the US soon and to compete with market leaders like Spotify, Apple & Tidal, they'll have to seriously step up their game... Do keep us updated on any further communication from their end :relaxed:
