Finally the new Qobuz subscriptions are now available in the Netherlands. Full hi-res for a very nice price if you choose a yearly subscription. This was what I was waiting for personally. So now, for the first time in my life 😐I have a streaming subscription. I use Qobuz trough Roon, connected to a pre amp and then to my beolabs. Wonderful!

Interesting indeed!

And B&o is now listed as "Our partners" on the Qobuz site...........

I hadn’t noticed that yet. That would be awesome. My next purchase will be a beosound 1 and Qobuz integration would really nail it for me.

For sure I then would try Qobuz for a year.

How to interpret this?

Is B&O soon going to integrate Qobuz, or do they just mean streaming by airplay/chromecast by this?

What do you think?

Airplay can't handle HiRes above 48kHz. Chromecast can; up to 24bit 96kHz

But I interpreted "the integrated" remark as an upcoming addition.

And I hope B&o will.........

+1 for native support of Qobuz (and TIDAL).

This Qobuz says about "integration". So it seems the conclusion should be: Qobuz is coming to B&o

We’ve been asking for this and native TIDAL integration for months! Crossing my fingers they’ve listened to us.
