Qobuz Connect allows you stream your tunes directly from Qobuz to compatible devices with no middlemen needed. Direct.
To my mind, this is great news for people looking for a simple and great-sounding streaming solution starting at a relatively modest $12.99 /month (for a monthly subscription or $129.99/year when paid in full) to Qobuz Studio which gives you access to “Over 100 million tracks available and the best Hi-Res catalog in the world.”
This means that I can now play music from the Qobuz desktop app, pictured up top, or from the Qobuz iPhone app directly to the totaldac d1-streamer-live that’s in for review.
Nice. A firmware update brings Qobuz Connect with it, which in the case of totaldac’s streamers involves:
- download the latest firmware (zip file) from totaldac to your computer
- remove the microSD card from your powered down totaldac streamer (via the power supply button, not by remote control button) and slip it into your computer’s microSD slot
- using a disk imaging tool like Balena Etcher, flash the zip file to the microSD card
- stick the microSD back into your totaldac streamer
- Select your totaldac from the Qobuz app
- play music
