Qobuz to DAC with remote control via iPhone: How??

[SLS]

It’s not edible, and doesn’t refer to how Ann Boleyn finished her days. In computing terms it refers to a networked PC, usually a server, running remotely without a keyboard, mouse or monitor.

I use a headless server running Vortexbox, Logitech Media Server (LMS) and Roon.

I use ipeng on my iPad to control LMS to stream Qobuz to a Logitech Transporter, and Roon to stream from my music collection on the Vortexbox via Ethernet to a Devialet 220 using the Devialet Air protocol.

On the third reading I realise that your problem is you want to use Qobuz for streaming but Roon for your music library. I don’t want Roon and anyway Qobuz includes booklets for most albums and lots of metadata besides. Those can be accessed from the Lightning app. Can you get the Qobuz booklets and metadata on ipeng?

Sadly No Qobuz booklets on iPeng. Also, sadly, no Qobuz tie up with Roon either. I use Roon to stream from my ripped music catalogue mainly because of the Roon interface and the superb sound quality via Devialet Air.

I’m waiting for Devialet to fit the new streamer board to my 220 Pro, which will (eventually) enable Qobuz direct streaming to the Devialet.

The reason why I have no interest in Roon is not only because Qobuz did not want to partner with them, but because there has to be a computer involved to store the Roon index, which is something the Aries streamers do.

I occasionally use Dev Air from my MacBook if I don’t have my phone or iPad handy and can be bothered to get either of them. It can’t cope with much HD, drops out. Ok at 16/44. If the new OS card does host Qobuz properly, then I will get rid of the Aries.

I started using Roon because they effectively fixed Devialet Air for them! Roon streams anything up to and including 24/192 using Air over Ethernet faultlessly.

I actually prefer the fact that the Roon server is running on a vortexbox headless PC, it means I can backup everything, including the Roon database, to an external USB disk using the vortexbox backup and restore utility which is excellent.

I’m waiting to see exactly what the Devialet Core I board will bring to the party before I decide if I’m going go for a lifetime Roon subscription. When I first got my 220 Pro I was on the brink of buying an Aries, but then the Roon / Devialet tie up was announced.

I think the Roon/Air thing was a software update that they could offer before the hardware update that improved Air for people using a computer source. Of no interest to usb source people like me. The Devialet website has on OS update on 20 October indicating the new streamer board is going to be extremely powerful.

The good thing about the Aries is I could sell it and get most of my money back (I was offered it ex-demo but would have bought it new), or give it to my son.

Sorry Grant, and to the op. What would you like me to elaborate on?

I recently set up a spare Macbook to stream directly into my DAC (or rather, into a SPDIF interface and then into my Mac). I haven't actually set it up yet but there is a JRiver control app that will allow selection and control to be done remotely from iPad or iPhone.

I believe the is a mechanism to use something called Splashtop to control Qbuz in the same way from an iPad or iPhone, but I haven't investigated that yet. This feature is also available I believe in Spotify.
