6-pack subs, Studio Player, Wilson Sabrina X speakers, and Audio Research amplification

Room 390
Shunyata Research
Theta series signal and power cables, Studio Player with Magico A5 speakers, and CH Precision amplification

Room 1620

Club Lounge
Magico
M9 Loudpeakers, Level 8 Atlantis Reference DAC, Server, and Transport, D’Agostino Relentless

The Atlantis Reference system in the Magico room will be the first public showing of a Level 8 system. I will be there as well, moving from room to room. If you are attending the show, be sure to stop by these rooms for a listen, and please say hello if you see me.

Hello, does the studio player now support Qobuz?

Hello, does the studio player now support Qobuz?

Hi sbnx - the issue is not whether Studio Player supports Qobuz; the short answer is yes. However what we are waiting for is Qobuz to release their app with Connect capability. We have beta tested it and it works flawlessly; we are only waiting for them. They have told us they will release it at Munich next month.

No mention of power supply or clock?

What about Roon?

The power supply and clock will premiere at HighEnd in Munich next month.

Does this mean that the Studio Players in Munich will be running Qobuz Connect?

As I quoted this post I was aware of it, maybe the question is for Qobuz and not for Wadax.
But most certainly Wadax knows more about the Qobuz Connect release than a consumer.

Qobuz has not yet released the Connect functionality where many manufacturers are ready and prepared to launch as soon as the service is available.

No one knows for sure when this is going to happen even it Qobuz has announced that it's going to be very soon (spring).

Spotify has been communicating a "Hi-Fi" option with higher streaming quality for years now which is still not a reality.

Hope that helps.

Hopefully Qobuz is different from Spotify

The latest Innuos Sense 3.3 beta firmware have Qobuz connect so I think the release will happen very soon as some manufacturers are runing tests with it right now.

Yes, but Innuos work closely with Qobuz, so they might be ahead of some competitors.
