Yes, that's the tradeoff -- currently, at least. You'd have to use something like Roon to move beyond that.
In the future, will WiiM release a simple multiroom content master that will send synched max resolution content to multiple Linkplay endpoints on the local network, and then let each...
It works similarly to Google Cast, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, etc. The app running on your desktop and/or phone is the controller, which instructs the Qobuz cloud to play what you select on a renderer (which in the case of WiiM can be single or multiroom endpoints). So content is sent in...
Just to close this out, the issue resolved when I uninstalled/reinstalled the beta app. After doing so, I did see a weird issue where all the QC and GC endpoints disappeared from the app, and there was an alert that I was not on the Internet (which I was), but that resolved when I rebooted my...
I get the impression that all the Denon/Marantz/HEOS firmware in the wild is already QC-compatible. I'm kind of expecting WiiM will update the firmware soon on their non-Ultra devices and QC-ify everything before Qobuz makes it GA in their apps.
If I were Qobuz, I'd be all in favor of having...
The GA Android app doesn't support QC. And if you're not on the QC beta list at the Play Store, you aren't going to get it (unless someone put a copy of the APK on some hacking site).
There was an interesting post at Club that Qobuz had ceased onboarding new beta testers because they now plan...
I'm seeing a new issue with WiiMs in multiroom mode and the most recent Android beta of the Qobuz app (qconnect-beta08). When streaming an album, set playlist, or artist/song radio playlist, the app does not reflect transitions to next songs (and in some cases, the progress indicator doesn't...
New Android beta app just dropped!
qconnect-beta08
Nothing specific listed in the release notes, so fair to assume it's a collection of bugfixes and/or performance improvements, possibly related to the new non-WiiM endpoints being tested.
From feedback on the Qobuz Club QC beta forum, it's clear that more manufacturers are jumping on board to support it on their streaming platforms. I imagine Qobuz (and they) want it to be adequately tested and proven solid on all the platforms before it's released to the general customer base...
Pretty rarely, I've had a track skip to the next one half-way through, but I don't know if that's on WiiM or Qobuz. Or a network glitch.
I can't force reproduce it at will, unfortunately.
I think they have the major items sorted. Besides the multiroom issue fixed a couple weeks back, earlier on I'd been seeing some instability and longer-than-necessary timeouts when connectivity failed, but Qobuz (and perhaps WiiM) have addressed these as well.
Maybe there are still some corner...
So right now, there have to be three things in place for QC to work in beta:
QC-capable firmware on rendering endpoints (e.g., WiiM);
QC beta app(s) on your mobile device, Mac, or PC;
Rendering devices and app store IDs whitelisted at Qobuz.
It sounds like you've got 1 and 3 in place, but 2...
Nothing to lose by entering it again. Drop an email to the QC beta team. And if you sign on to Qobuz Club, try reaching out to Albadoud for status.
In the meantime check a couple of times a day for an update to the Qobuz app. After you're registered correctly on the Play Store, the proper beta...
Did you provide Qobuz with the MAC address(es) and serial number(s) of your WiiM devices(s)? As well as your Play Store ID so that your account can be flagged for the QC-specific beta app?
