Qobuz Connect

I was enthusiastic about Qobuz connect when it became available.  I have been using Qobuz with Roon and liked it, but Qobuz connect would offer a simpler, more direct connection.

However, I find that Qobuz connect intermittently will stop in a tract mid-stream, provide a notice that it cannot connect to that tract and move on to the next one. I have had this problem with several different high end streamer/dac/preamp setups on several different networks, including in a high end dealer store.  The experts there, who are top notch, think that it it is perhaps that Qobuz connect is new and they have not worked out the bugs yet.  There have been several updates, but the problem persists.

Anybody else have this problem?  Has Qobuz commented on it?

Thanks everybody!

Hello!

I had the problem initially but it disappeared and I suspected a server issue.

I use the S1 Aries.

Some have suspected Country Server issues.

Qobuz Club and Beta thread had complaints initially but they seem to have dropped off.

I live in the Southeast US.

Qobuz Connect and WiiM Pro Plus has issues with gapless playback.

Playing classical music and live recordings is no good!

I use JPLAY with my Qobuz subscription.

Works like a dream.

And it's better looking on my Mac too :)

Perhaps unrelated to your Qobuz Connect problem, but I occasionally get a similar stop of play with Qobuz through Roon on my Eversolo A6. But if I play Qobuz directly there is no issue. That makes me wonder if it’s a processor issue with my Nucleus One. But a simple stream on a strong wifi connection, with no DSP, shouldn’t be a heavy lift.
