@mojo771 you wrote, "there are no instructions that say you need to log out and then log back, and not by merely selecting the Qobuz tab, like you just select the Tidal tab. Insead, you have to go to a different settings page - not the main settings page - and then can log in and choose your service."
You might want to post those findings on other forums (Qobuz, Bluesound Node) to help others avoid aggravation. Glad you figured it out.
Does Qobuz work
I've been streaming from Tidal from ethernet, through my Blue Sound Vault and McIntosh amp. I find the BluOS very easy to use and Tidal works great on the BluOS app on my phone. Qobuz does not. I've tried to contact Qobuz customer support but its been days now and they haven't responded. There are several options on the BluOS app for various sources, like Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, etc. But Qobuz is the only one that doesn't work, I paid for the Hi Res Audio, but the songs come thru at only cd quality and only 15 second samples. Does anyone have a solution?

@mojo771 Get your Mojo working. As one who srarted on a laptop then onto a bluebaby please get the best streamer with an internal or external dac you can afford and clean up your Ethernet and trip the light fantastic. There’s all the info you could ever want on these forums. |
The "Best" DAC is kind of the issue. First, I don't know what dac is in the Vault, 2nd, I've had 2 different audio shop suggest dacs - one ( I think the T&A 200) also had a pre-amp and its over $7000. Another place suggested an $800 Hugo, That's quite a big difference in price. I don't want to go cheap, but I also don't want to spend $&k if I don't need to. Also, not every audio shop has every brand so its hard to compare dacs. I can try ordering a few, comparing them on my system, and then return all the ones I don't like. But I hate to order stuff I know I'm going to return. |
OP, What DAC is appropriate for your system is dependent on your system. In general, DACs get better with price. But getting one greatly better than the rest of your system is not appropriate. I have owned or auditioned extensively DACs from $500 to $22K. In general, they get better at each cost point.
To recommend a DAC for your system we need to know your current system and venue… there is a place to put photos of your system under your USerID… under virtual systems. This would facilitate us helping you. Also, we need to know what you value in musical presentation… do you really like details and slam, imaging, or musicality?
If you do the research and choose carefully, it is most common that a great combination will be the investment will be Streamer = DAC = Preamp = amp, each less than speakers…. typically will represent 30% of the total system. |
