JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone


Do I need the Jplay app to stream hi resolution from iPhone qobuz to a Hegel H190. The Qobuz app won’t do it by itself? A lot of confusing articles and posts.

I don’t want to purchase Jplay if it is not needed.

Hegel page about streaming mentions Qobuz only in its UPnP section and says to use Jplay.
Network, Streaming and Sound Formats (hegel.com)

I see wired solutions but I need to control the system from another room.  I could use the iphone to control a PC that is wired via USB but would prefer to just open an app on my phone and play music at hi resolution to the Hegel.

@fuzztone I am confused.  BubbleUPnP runs on the PC, correct, not the phone.

What app do I use on the phone to control it?

@soix  I installed mconnect on my phone.  It does not see the Hegel.

 

I think I need a network diagram, lol.  Seriously though, I'm not clear what apps are doing what.


Is this correct?

mconnect... Runs on phone and connects to Qobuz servers and streams music using upnp to Hegel?

BubbleUPnP... runs on pc, connects to Qobuz servers, streams music to Hegel using upnp.  Controlled from phone by ???

Adding some info.  I can see the hegal from the pc, it shows up in file manager as a renderer and I can open the web interface.

I can see my Yamaha receiver from mconnect, just not the Hegel.  They are both on same network.

I can airplay to the Hegel from iphone.  

So I think network connectivity is not the issue unless its specific to upnp

 

@soix "ou should see a list of available UPnP devices and hopefully your Hegel will show up there so you can choose that"
This is the step that is not working.  The Hegel does not appear.  I'll keep researching.

OK, I got one option working.  mconnect now shows the Hegel.  I rebooted the Hegel and now it shows up.  Got hires music from Qobuz -> mconnect -> Hegel.

The interface of mconnect leaves something to be desired but it works.
