Qobuz lists Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here50 as 192 Hi-res, yet when I import it into Roon it’s listed as 96 and this is how it plays on my system. I’m finding more and more albums on Qobuz with this issue. Anyone finding the same?

Ahhh, can confirm that it is listed as 192/24 on the Qobuz app! That’s curious since Roon just drinks Qobuz content from their APIs 
Does it play at 192 on Tidal?
The 5 track original album plays at 192 in Qobuz, which on its site [see above] lists the 30 track version as 192 but it plays at 96 which is what it shows in Roon
The Qobuz 30 track version is 96/24 and plays as 96/24 on both Qobuz and Roon. It must be mislabeled on the Qobuz site.
The Tidal 30 track version is mixed formats.
I tested Wish You Were Here 50 from Qobuz using Qobuz Connect to my Matrix streamer and the first several tracks are all 96/24. Clearly a problem with the Qobuz app.

No, it’s mislabeled on Qobuz. The 30 track Qobuz album is 96/24 not 192/24.

That’s my sense too. And it’s not the first time I’ve noticed an album being mislabelled by Qobuz

Yes, correct. As I mention, it appears to be a problem with the Qobuz app. Not sure what distinction you are making?
It’s mislabelled on their website too

The distinction I was making is there is nothing wrong with the Qobuz app. The app plays the album properly. The issue is the album is labeled incorrectly which, to me, is not a problem with the app itself.
EDIT: It happens from time to time. Not a big deal.

Yeah, I went through the album curious if there was one track at 192/24 and perhaps their website and app use that as the album guidance despite the fact that the metadata for the album is 96/24 when gated through Roon, but all the tracks are 96/24, so it’s definitely an issue with presentation both on website and in the app.
I would guess there is only one database and one API (likely ReST-ish with authentication), so it might be that Qobuz’s own technologies are using cached metadata or something else is broken on their side. It’s definitely funny that Roon gets it right.
EDIT: feeling ridiculously proactive since I love a good tech mystery, I’m reporting it via a chat session with Qobuz. Their AI chatbot was initially fairly good even acknowledging that Roon having the metadata correct was curious.

But, when listening, can you really hear a difference between 96 and 192? I can’t.
My audiologist tells me I have the hearing of a 16 year-old and I can hear the difference listening to some albums on an AK DAP with IEM’s
I have the same problem
Hearing via Roon sounds always low-res for me. So it doesn’t matter, which resolution Qobuz provides. I hear only directly via Qobuz. But this is a different topic.
