Will Bluesound ever offer Qobuz Connect compatibility

Just curious if anyone has heard or read that Bluesound will upgrade the Node to use Qobuz Connect? And if anyone is using Qobuz Connect on another streamer, what is your opinion?

No list of songs when you search an artist, just albums. Aurender just rolled out Connect and it works pretty good. I've been using Connect with my PC too.

I am not wild about BluOS as a whole. But with my budget I cannot afford to move upward. Aurender is on my wish list as is Lumin and Innuos. But the more I learn about these 3 I find Aurender is the list leader. But until my finances permit, I am stuck with Bluesound, and am hoping that the Qobuz Connect app makes onto their menu of options.

Just a reminder of our current status, as mentioned here earlier in this thread by our BluOS Development Brand Manager. I'll add that we have a large multi year project that is coming to a close soon. Once that is completed then Qobuz Connect is and was always next on the list. Connect models themselves take time to ensure quality, reliability and consistent audio. As we now have now over 90 devices in the platform there will be a significant testing cycle. Qobuz is a good partner of BluOS and Lenbrook, and we want to support both their new functionality and to offer it to you the folks that buy our products. In speaking with Andrew this morning, we are expecting to deliver Qobuz Connect on over 90 different BluOS Devices covering 7 different industry brands, all certified by Qobuz, within about 90-120 days. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Could it be that Bluesound is finally bringing an upscale Streamer to market?? That would be cool.

I have three Bluesound products, and they are allot of bang for the buck. I think that there is an opportunity in the market at the $3k level for a Streamer with very good power supply, clock, and i2s output. I was hoping LAIV was there but appear to be struggling with the Net2.
