Thanks for all the great work gentlemen. Good job!
I have a question; is the offline feature of Qobuz (on pc/mac) implemented? If not, is it in the pipeline?
(edit: One of the key SP’s for me to switch to Qobuz over Tidal has been the more solid, for me, buffering; does the Roon implementation, offer similarly robust buffering?)
For the most part music label contracts with a streaming services do not allow them to sub-license offline mode to partners.
I’m not sure how to answer this question. Both services are distributing audio in essentially the same way from a technical perspective, so I can’t explain your subjective differences. Roon handles both the same in terms of buffering. Our buffering scheme is more aggressive than I would expect to find in either of their clients (on the flip side, it is also more demanding on weak internet connections, because we do more read-ahead…always a tradeoff).
thanks Brian. Maybe it’s because Qobuz offers the visible buffering bar which is mentally reassuring, that I perceive better buffering with Qobuz
Point taken about the offline feature. Internet connection’s getting better all the time, so it’s becoming less and less important anyhow. Was just wondering.
The Roon version on a ROCK NUC will also automatically upgrade itself. You can also force it by going to Settings, and clicking the “About” link top right.
The ROCK OS itself has not been upgraded. ROCK OS releases have their own thread in the Software Release category:
A dissapointing release for me personally. No improvements for the classical listner. I never really understood the interest for the radio function. Why would I want to listen to randomized music.
I don`t think I will renew my subscription when it runs out in a month.
What a terrific integration effort, particularly as you enable both Tidal and Qobuz to exist side by side, turning what could have been a difficult competitive effort into the question of “why not keep both?” as someone else said, given what we spend on audio equipment, the costs of Roon, Tidal, Qobuz and HQ Player are cheap. Also love the updated Roon radio.
Congratulations to the whole team for an effort well done and for not pre-releasing the news until the product was ready – a rarity in today’s world.
In My Qobuz - - Favorite Artists: Many Fotos are missing. The area is greyed out.
If there are no fotos available maybe you could put in pics of an album.
It is just a small cosmetical issue.
