How to play Qobuz download on NDS

Posted by: m.paul taylor on 24 January 2018

I downloaded a high res file from Qobuz and it will not play on the NDS. The file type is SMR.wma. Can anyone tell me how to make it playable?

On Qobuz you can choose many formats, so choose Flac and it will play.

i made the same error first when i bought the nds.  Wma doesn’t work. You must choose waw or aif format.

To me there is a significant difference between Flac and Wav that’s why I have Flac on my NAS but I ensure it get’s transcoded to WAV before it arrives at my NDS, like a lot of others do, the best of two worlds....

I haven't seen a difference either. But I have heard one. And it's a big one. If you can't hear one, it simplifies your situation considerably.
