Roon says I have a couple of discs with a DR of 5, which seems unlikely? What CDs? Look them up on the DR LOUDNESS site.

Wish I knew about it before I bought downloads from sites like HD Tracks. Edited July 23, 2022 by pcking

Wish I knew about it before I bought downloads from sites like HD Tracks. It was Dire Straits' eponymous first album. I looked it up on dr.loudness-war, and found an entry with matching serial no. and bar code: they say dynamic range of 11-13 depending on track. So the Roon info is MILES off. Unless the K50 rips it badly, which seems highly unlikely. 1
Hydrology Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Great little promotion starting with Qobuz - and an even better deal if you are a Qobuz Sublime subscriber! https://positive-feedback.com/industry-news/qobuz-and-blue-note-records-launch-global-initiative/ 3 2
El3ctric Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Does anyone have any theories as to why HEOS doesn't support Qobuz? I see posts asking for this going back for years and yet still nothing. Apparently not even on the roadmap. What gives?
WorkinClassAudio Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 I'm getting a lot of tracks not currently available from Qobuz. Anyone know what's going on? I'm a Sublime subscriber.

Frank Prowse Hi-Fi Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) If anyone is having issues inside Roon with Qobuz, there was a Roon update earlier in the week that addresses some of the current issues. Edited September 9, 2022 by Frank Prowse Hi-Fi

Both Roon and native Qobuz working with no issues here.

I use Roon. It doesn't seem like a Roon issue because Roon issue is usually that it takes too long to load or is stuck. The error says track not currently available after i play the lead track. I'll try resetting Roon and see if that works.

I am forbidden from disclosing anything specific, which is fair enough, but I do think people are going to be quite happy with what is coming with regards to features. 1

Good to know thanks. There are bound to be Roon software issues when its another layer on top of so many services.

EagleKent Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Hi all. New Qobuz user here using the free one month trial. Loving the Hi-res content especially coming from YT premium music which sounds really good on high quality but it's a whole new level with Qobuz hi-res. Anyway, in the last week or so I noticed a lot of shortages and I had to go back to YT Music. Is this a regular occurence with Qobuz? Would like to support the company for what they are trying to do (take audio to the highest level) but not if it keep having shortages. If they can't get this right let some other players do it better and they get my money. Just my two cents. 1

I reckon I've had 2 outages in the last year including last week's issues which lasted about 5-6 hours all up. I would not worry too much about it. 2

fjs Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 I’ve subscribed to qobuz since they started up in australia. I’ve not noticed any blackouts but I don’t listen 24/7. 1

Are you listening via wifi or on an ethernet connection? 1
ICUToo Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Been with Qobuz just about since it started- can’t remember a single outage. 3

Twelve months with Qobuz Sublime - no streaming outages that I can recall, have downloaded 30+ albums and only once had a single track fail - reported it and they sent me a $10 voucher (cost of that single track was only $3) within 24 hours. SQ and service are great from my experience. 2
doogie44 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Posted September 15, 2022 These are my simple tips as an original Qobuz subscriber, and recovering digital idiot. Apologies if you know all this already...I didn't, in the beginning. Sydney N. Beaches area. Aussie Broadband. No Qobuz outages or serious glitches, BUT the quality of your internet connection is paramount: I have not looked back since installing a 3-node mesh internet system in my house at the same time as subscribing. Also, pay attention to having a decently large buffer size in Qobuz settings--or you 'might' get stuttering at hi-res playback. I have set my Qobuz to 24/96 so I have a 'workable' buffer at all times (and because I can't distinguish it from 24/192 anyway). However, since getting the Auralic Aries G1 streamer everything just works! Bliss... My 2c worth. 3
