This is available on your distro repositories PLATFORM AUDIOPHILES BY ADDING 24BIT QOBUZ INSTALLYou need to install 3 apps and will likely need to open a terminal. Once you do that, the audio from your pc apps is unaffected (you can play youtube videos, and hear the new mail notification). So, assuming you have your pc internal audio AND a DAC (maybe usb), what you need to do in PulseAudio is set your DAC to "OFF". So the fact it might do resampling is not only expected but, in fact, it can be mandatory. It must guarantee you to be able to hear the "new email" notification when you are playing a youtube video. PulseAudio is good at its purposes, which do not necessarily include hi-fi. You can easily setup your desktop to play Qobuz without having to damage your "normal" audio user experience by disabling PulseAudio. Hello, I am using Qobuz in multiple ways, including on my linux desktop. I did trial it before I took Qobuz and didn't like the way some music was pushed at me. Anyone else using Qobuz and Roon? - I'd be interested to learn of your experiences.īTW - I'm with regardingTidal. They've just offered me a free 60 day trial of Roon now that they've done a deal, which I'm tempted to take. Everything goes through the JRiver engine as I use some DSP. I like the catalogue as it suits my musical tastes, and I like the simple design of the desktop app, but it really does need to improve. PLATFORM AUDIOPHILES BY ADDING 24BIT QOBUZ ANDROIDI have a fibre high speed internet connection and it runs flawlessley when using Bubble uPNP on an Android tablet. It has also suffered from crackles recently. This has happened several times in the past few years. Currently, I can use it only if run as administrator. Regarding the Qobuz service - I wish I could say that the desktop app was bug free, but my experience is that it often has problems. Haven't decided which way to go on this one yet. Given that I can always sell the CD for about £1 it makes it pretty much equal. Occasionally they work out at a similar price - an example is the recent JS Ondara release - Tales of America - £8.49 for the 24/192 download or £9.99 for the CD from Amazon. Only then do I buy the high res download. Given that, I'll still try to find a used CD first or check the price on Amazon or Discogs. This is a small saving over the monthly cost, but paid upfront and also gives me access to about half price high res downloads. I've had a Qobuz subscription for about 3 years - initially on a monthly basis (16/44) and for the last 2 years I've subscribed to the Sublime service also 16/44. ![]()
