Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Qobuz Connect

[slartibartfast]

You can make that suggestion directly to WiiM, but in the meantime please post on the forum in English.

Some forums have dedicated sections for some languages. I think the LMS forum has French, German and Spanish. You can see how much traffic they get in the image. The Spanish forum has 125 posts going back to 2005.

The reality is English is the language that considered a worldwide standard despite many of us English is our non native language but we do understand them. It’s ironic people would commonly use discrimination when they have complaints and not happy on certain things.

Hi everyone, thanks all for jumping on this! We've shared the current list with Qobuz and they'll be reaching out to people. We've closed the survey down for now, but we'll let you know if it gets reopened!

Dang it! Missed the boat and I’ve been waiting for this for years!! I insist everyone returns to this space immediately they have a connection and posts pics and describes how smooth and delightful it all is to be one of the chosen few…

Guess that depends whether Qobuz run it as a closed beta with an NDA etc. If they do, how would we know?

True… I am double buggered… …and you know I don’t even need it as I have Roon! I just really fancy being able to read Qobuz features and panoramas in the Mac OS app, which I love using, and be able to quickly stream the tracks or albums direct to the WiiM - rather than digging them out in Roon.

I am sure that next we will hear is how much better it sounds direct, or how worse it sounds direct

Yeah, this hobby of ours does seem to attract more than its fair share of perverse curmudgeons

Sorry I missed it Ryan! I will be following closely as I use Qobuz.

Now it's Friday Dec. 13th and nothing further on this, typical Qobuz.

I would assume it’s on all quoboz to do their thing?

 

[RyanWithWiiM]

Yeah, sorry guys. At this point it's out of my hands.

And being in Qobuz hands well… wait is the norm. One of the worst customer service orgs I have dealt with.

I wouldn’t be surprised knowing they been working on connect for many many years and it’s just started to materialize maybe the competition is eating their market share. To be relevant to this type of business they need to be innovative and competitive price. Even you make little per customer but if you have millions of customers you will make your profit.

"Doing good business is so easy. I buy eggs for 20 cents and sell them for 15 cents."
"Hey, that's how you make a loss."
"No, the sold number makes the success."
Back to serious, it would be so simple if this equation is linear.

Just received the email for the beta program I will try it out once I get home from work.

 

[BK308]

In the email it states “The following equipment you own is compatible with Qobuz Connect Beta: Wiim Pro.”

I have the WiiM amp. Should this matter?

 

[azoriusmage]

I have the desktop app installed and just registered for testflight app presumably I need a firmware update for my Wiim too?

Me neither. Unclear if everyone who applied will be chosen tbh as we’ve no idea whether Qobuz are filtering the requests
