Qobuz connect

Hi

Spoke to Primare and they won't be supporting it, neither do they support Tidal Connect.

Bluesound have said it's something they will do in future. Has caused a lot of debate on their community forums.

I just don't get it with some of these Scandinavian makes - Hegel wants you to cough up 5-6k GBP before you can get Tidal Connect, anything below their H400 and you only get Spotify Connect.

Choices eh? Choices.....

It's all down to hardware. Some can support it, some can't.

But they didn't see fit to equip the 190v which is actually their latest amplifier, albeit an update of the 190.

The 190v was more of an update to the existing 190 - added a phono stage. The H400 is the most recent amplifier.

Which is irrelevant really, the matter in hand was inclusion or rather not, of Qobuz connect was it ?
Even their latest doesn't include it.
However I wouldn't expect it in an amp anyway.
If you need Qobuz connect simply get a streamer that does support it. Simples!
I have no idea what the benefit is of bemoaning kit that doesn't support it, plenty to choose from out there ......
