Streaming platforms: Tidal vs Qobuz etc.

[Rockchild]

Qoboz is integrated with the 851n, as Johnathan states.

Johnathan - is Chromecast built in? I have a couple of Chromecast Audio dongles but integrated would be nice.

No Geoff, pre chromecast but the CXN v2 has it. There are talks about firmware upgrades but I think on the last survey, it wasn’t on the priority list for the 851.

 

[Bazzer]

You should have it it Baz.. it’s built in

What, does not have Qobuz?

err maybe I need an update  :dunno:

I don't use the app I like to control from my MAC and you can't with Qobuz because it hasn't got Connect , yet .

You might get better sound quality using the app though?

 

[MartinC]

Is there a version of the app you can use on your MAC?

 

[Bazzer]

good point , I'll check as when I use the MAC or even the Qobuz ios app it's streams with Airplay which doesn't do HiRes .

Can you not download the StreamMagic app for MAC on your PC? 
on the app, it’s not an Airplay thing, it’s direct so the phone only acts as a remote so I get full advantage of high res with Tidal and Qobuz 

 

[Bazzer]

Is there a version of the app you can use on your MAC?

No , it's no big deal but I do love the Spotify and Tidal connectivity .

 

[Bazzer]

Yes just realised that .

 

[Bazzer]

Can you not download the StreamMagic app for MAC

I think I have tried that but it's a third party interface IIRC and got a bit buggy .

 

[Rockchild]

You can add them in your presets on the app
