I was thinking the same thing, and just jumped back to TAS using Tidal and files. Roon IMO is sounding light, no meat on the bone, no texture. For whatever reason on TAS it’s asking me for Qobuz credentials that I’m having issues with connecting.
We have seen Qobuz connection issues with Roon and TAS the during time we were in Munich last week.
I spoke with a Product Manager of Qobuz who was at Munich and raised the issue with him. He gave me a comforting reply about their delivery outage handling process
Qobuz feeds it's content over several different content delivery backbones to the different types of client which include, 3rd party software clients, hardware devices, Qobuz own software running on mobile devices and client PC's. This means a Smartphone will be happily playing Qobuz, but Roon and TAS are having issues even though they are connected to the same LAN / Wifi
The Good news for XDMS users is that during the whole time Roon and TAS were having problems, XDMS was connecting and staying connected to Qobuz without a blip
A stable connection to Qobuz was not the case when XDMS first connected to Qobuz back in November 2021. XDMS / Qobuz had 3 outages, but each outage was resolved by our Streaming Agregator in less than 18 hours. We have had no XDMS connection to Qobuz outages for several months now.
Our Streaming Aggregator gets full attention when they raise a ticket as they have a fleet of tens of thousands of hardware devices across the World.
Our Streaming Agregator pays attention to us, as they know we don't cry Wolf, and they don't want the issue we raise to damage the User Experience of their other thousnads of customers who are unlikely to report an issue / raise a ticket when their wireless speaker has a connection problem.
Bottom line, connection issues with Qobuz are minimal and have trended down. When they do occur they are resolved in less than a day
