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!

No issues using Qobuz Connect through a WiiM Ultra. Could it be a problem with your network?

Yes, it seems that some days are better than others. Annoying.  I sometimes wonder if the cache for the streamer is too small.  Someone please tell me if the Aurender has this problem as I am looking at the new A1000.

I have not converted from conductor. Any advantages of Qobuz connect over Aurender conductor?

Doubt if it is a Connect issue but I have lots of play stoppage when using CarPlay.

In response to boxcarman's question, I noticed his particular problem with QC and Aurender in the showroom of a high end dealer using their very best equipment.

The problem overall in intermittent, but serious enough to interfere with the listening experience.  

At home, I have a Simaudio 891.  So, the newest technology.  Qobuz works perfectly with Roon, but the problem persists with Qobuz connect.

It the problem of not being able to play tracks may depend on the streamer/dac.  If so, Qobuz needs to identify the problem, fix it, and do a better job of certifying companies and their products and working with Qobuz connect.
