Hello, simple question.... what are the chances that Qobuz Connect will be operational by the end of 2026?
Qobuz Connect
I assume this thread refers to Android users. However, I’ve seen the following terms used:
- Airmusic which is an Android app
- AirPlay which is iOS
- AirMagic which deals with Drones
Geeze Louise guys which is it? 😂
If you read the app info, you’ll see it is capable of using AirPlay and AirPlay 2. It’s #1 on their list of supported protocols.
+4Since it is very rare for anyone to be able to hear a difference in 16-bit/44.1 kHz and higher bit-rate audio I don't want anything higher than CD quality as it just eats Wi-Fi bandwidth.
Now if I was selling audio gear or looking for clicks I'd push folks to the highest possible / most profitable bit-rate.
Personally, 16/44.1 or 24/48 quality is enough for me...if I wanted better, I wouldn't use Sonos devices...but the original question was why Qobuz Connect still doesn't work...which is now supported by almost every large and small electronics manufacturer...except Sonos.
Qobuz would have to put the existing API that is used elsewhere by other companies into the Qobuz software. Sonos doesn’t have access to that code base, so they’re not able to do it. You may want to ask Qobuz why they haven’t done it yet.

I agree with this. The one benefit I enjoy with higher res files is not bit-rate/sample rate, but many are remasters (or even remixes) and are better sounding because of that. I don’t mean files that are just converted to higher res. That shouldn’t even be allowed or maybe they should need to be disclosed as such.
Remastering can go either way, I have heard some tracks that are amazingly better than the original mix, they got a competent audio engineer rather than the original louder and boomier is better fool.
Some, particularly Atmos remixes, are unlistenable on speakers but decent on headphones.
But as you point out that isn't a bit-rate issue.
