Qobuz + Lumin = Headache

Hi all, I have been using Qobuz through my Lumin U2mini and Lumin app.  I find the Lumin app to be slow and clunky.  It doesn't have the ability to easily add one song to a playlist, no radio etc.  If I stream from the Qobuz app which is much better, I have to airplay to my Lumin.  

I am trying Tidal which has a "connect" with Lumin and it is way way better.  Before I give up on Qobuz/Lumin combo wanted to reach out to the breathren for any advice.  I will not use Roon.  I could fill a page with my frustration with roon....

Best

John,

When I opened a Lumin I found it took a day to learn the application and then it worked pretty well. The sound quality of the LUMIN with their digital volume control was just outstanding

Use Mconnect to play Qobuz to the Lumin.  Much easier than the Lumin app.

Maybe I have a problem somewhere in the network.  I click on a song and it will play but it isn't immediate.  Also I have to airplay the qobuz app to the Lumin. In oher words I can't use the qobuz app to search and find music and then play it. I have to save it on qobuz app then find it using the Lumin app unless I use airplay.


Is airplay degrade the sound?  I only run CD quality lossless.  No Hi-Res

Thanks
