Qobuz Windows App


Is anyone else having problems with the Qobuz app for Windows?  I can use Qobuz fine through my web browser, but the app either hangs up or runs really slow.  I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.  My system is older, but still pretty fast - 24 GB RAM and a solid state drive.  I run a lot of resource intensive programs like Photoshop and Lightroom with no problems.  I'd prefer to use the app.

@gdnrbob2 Thanks for the suggestions. 

I run the Qobuz app on my phone and tablet with no issues.  I installed it on my laptop, which is  a slower machine and it runs fine.  I have plenty of bandwidth, that machine is connected directly to my router, while all the others are wireless and work fine.  I get about 65 Mbps download speeds.  The firewall isn't the issue or it wouldn't work at all.

I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue of some sort since the issue seems to be confined to that machine.  I have three DAC's connected to that PC and perhaps that's "confusing" the app.  I don't have any issues with Tidal, Spotify, or Foobar however.
A follow up in case it helps someone else... I uninstalled the drivers for the other DACs I had on this machine and only left the one I'm using installed and the Qobuz app seems to work fine now.
I cancelled my trial.  I'll give it another try in the future perhaps.  Besides the performance of the app, I miss the "daily mix" and "my mix" playlists that Spotify and Tidal create.  Both do a nice job of putting together music I enjoy while playing some things I haven't heard before.
I renewed my subscription to Qobuz and have been listening to it a lot.  The app works great within the Bluesound app on my Android devices.  The app is still a little buggy on my PC and runs kind of slow, but works fine on my Dell laptop.  I'm not sure what the differences are between the app and web player, but in my case I have more control over output options.
