    Default Qobuz playing through Roon - anyone running it this way?

    All of a sudden I can’t play Qobuz tracks in Roon, play fines in both web and IPad apps.
    Troubleshooting and trying to narrow down the cause.

    Emailed Qobuz over a week ago, had an automated acknowledgment email, but no answer or help.
    Hmnn, doesn’t look great and at 25 quid a month I’d expect better, might cancel.

    Anyone else run it via Roon...any issues?


    thanks.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hmnn..your experience ain’t encouraging either Grant...

    I’ll contact them again, and have a look in the Roon forums, could be an issue with that to be fair.
    Thank’ye sir.

    Default Qobuz playing through Roon - anyone running it this way?

    I’m playing Qobuz through Roon. I have a Linux version Roon server and I use an iPad as the Roon control.

    It’s been pretty much faultless for me since it was integrated into Roon.

    However I have been having a minor issue since I upgraded my talk talk broadband package and had a new talk talk router. I occasionally get the situation where Roon won’t load a Qobuz album on the first try, I get a message that there is a network problem.

    If I go back and try again it usually works.

    Otherwise it’s superb, the sound quality is truly excellent.

    Over on the Roon forum one of the moderators there suggesting I check my Roon core’s system clock, as that not being right can cause this problem.

    Checking that today.

    *EDIT*

    Yup.
    Sho’nuff it was my system clock that had drifted off to some time in the future.
    Corrected the time in the Bios and Qobuz is now playing fine.


    Thanks for the help, almost cancelled Qobuz because of this, glad I got it fixed.
    Sound quality is great.
