Qobuz "Connect"

[Kurt 2,869]

Hey, for all you hi-def digital music streamers and Qobuz users out there, I thought this was pretty cool.  Qobuz has a new functionality.  See it here.

The feature let's you control Qobuz on one device from another device on the same network.  This is a big deal for me and other users.  I don't have to get up to change songs on my streaming setup in my stack.  I can do it remotely from my iPhone.  I know many streamers already have this feature (like via Roon, or via device apps), but Qobuz hasn't had it until now which has bugged me a bit.  I had considered paying extra for Roon, now I don't have to... 

 

Funny story... I'm a few weeks late in discovering this, apparently.  It was launched in mid-May.  I can be completely oblivious to audio news sometimes.  I actually discovered the new feature by accident.  Sometimes, I listen to music via my streamer (Qobuz on an IPad into a Schitt DAC) while I also use my iPhone to make more playlists on Qobuz.  Yesterday, I was doing that and noticed when I opened Qobuz on my iPhone, it was on the same song I was listening to and had a notation that it was playing on "Kurt's iPad".   I couldn't believe it.  Not only did I get a great new feature....it automatically set itself up and turned on!   I didn't even have to learn how to use it.  It's just there, now!  I love it.
