What did your Audio Midi Setup app of the Mac says about your DAC format?
My DAC is after my Lumin U1 Mini streamer so shouldnât matter?
Sorry, I thought Lumin U1 Mini has a DAC inside that would be recognized by your Mac Mini.
Lumin connects to Roon via RAAT over network, not USB audio, so the Mac audio output setup does not affect Lumin.
In Lumin app we also do not provide an option to choose a lower-than-highest Qobuz streaming audio quality, unlike Roon and most other designs. So it is impossible for a misconfiguration to cause a lower-than-desired sample rate to be obtained, other than regional restrictions / wrong album / wrong account / wrong subscription.

You canât search Qobuz/Tidal playlists in Roon, only the ones you have added as favorites will be found. Bug/Feature reportedâŚ
Anyways, @Peter_Cantera
Qobuz is not officially launched in Nordic countries yet, and i have several friends who have signed up but seeing the same thing. I think itâs an account issue.
I have a UK account with Qobuz since a few years but i am based in Sweden and my Sublime+ is working just fine, with all source media.
So itâs not a technical limitation. And not a Roon issue either.
Just in, seems to be working as of right now!

Seems to be a couple of issues with the Nordic region, but anyone there can sign up for an account and start a trial, so it must be officially launched? A few days ago it was invitation only.
I have signed up for an account in Sweden and I can stream Hi-res, but Roon has everything tagged as 44.1/16, so for now, the only way to tell if a track/album is Hi-res is to start playing and check the signal path. Posted in this thread.
Please retest, due to:
The 192/24 issue seems to be fixed in Sweden now

So I just had the same issue for a while, which Iâve fixed via trial and error rather than any solution I found in this thread (although sorry if I missed any post saying what worked for me).
Iâm using: Mac mini for Roon server; Qobuz studio subscription (so has 24/192); test album - Miles Davis: In a silent way.
My solution: install and open the Qobuz app itself on your computer - not phone / iPad app. Ensure youâve selected your preferred DAC as preferred audio output device in âMusic Playingâ settings (mine didnât point automatically to the system default for some reason). On this âMusic Playingâ settings page, youâll also see âStreaming qualityâ. Here, for some unknown reason, mine was defaulting to 24/96 even though on their iPhone app I use was set at 24/192. So I clicked 24/192, ensured it was playing back at that through the Qobuz app itself.
Then I closed down the Qobuz app, restarted Roon (only at end-point laptop, didnât restart the Roon server on Mac-mini). And voila, there was Miles, in Roon, via Qobuz tab, at 24/192 for the first time.
Interestingly - that particular track (Michael Jackson on Thriller) I believe is 176.4KHz 24 bit rather than 192 KHz - at least it shows up in my Roon as that for Qobuz UK. The other versions shown are normal CD quality and 96KHz - 24Bit - interesting one as Iâve seen very few with this. Depending on your equipment it can tend to get upsampled in software though.
Why are you Banned? Do you have Roon?
I have the same issue with the roon system showing 176.4 but not playing 192. Or at least no sound. Hae been in contact with Qobuz support to try and find an answer. Will keep updated with the result of the enquiry.
The 176.4 version was the original hi res version released based off the DSD release. It has been replaced by the recent re-release in 192. Sadly, since the 176.4 version sounded soo soo much better.
The DSD version is pretty spectacularâŚ

Been told by QOBUZ that it is a Roon issue. Will get in contact with them again .
In my test:
Thriller:
- Lumin app plays 176.4kHz
- Roon shows 192kHz in browsing, but plays 176.4kHz normally in Roon signal path
@Rugby could you check what it shows and what it plays on your setup?
Forget Roon, use Qobuzâs desktop app, does the same thing happen there? (It does for me).
