Qobuz 24 Bit Streaming

Posted by: endlessnessism on 13 August 2015

With the latest update it seems that Qobuz are able to stream some files in 24 Bit. Is anyone using this and, if so, how are they getting it to their hi fi DAC / amp?

I have been streaming Qobuz via Sonos into a Naim DAC, and also via Simple Audio into a Naim DAC. Obviously Sonos won't play 24 Bit. Simple Audio will, up to 24/192, but it's not obvious how I can select 24 Bit Qobuz files in the Simple Audio app (which possibly needs an upgrade but will not get it because Simple Audio have gone out of business).

Maybe I need to stream Qobuz 24 Bit directly from an iPad or laptop directly into my DAC, or via an SPDF converter? There must be a better way?

I have wired ethernet throughout the house so I'm not worried about bandwidth.

Wouldn't it be great if it was integrated into Naim streamers! But one has to be very patient.

Saw it - but haven't used it as such as I am only using streaming on mobile device. Would agree to the former comment, would love to see it on my Naim NDS...
