Qobuz & Wiim Pro and Mini

LMS?

Personally I wouldn't want to use Bubble UPnP. I've used DLNA to stream video from my PC to TV so know about it. But for mainstream usage I'd just want to cast from the official apps.

Logitech Media Server with an appropriate chromecast bridge plugin. Qobuz content can be casted with 192 kHz quality. Of course it's pretty academic to use it instead of 96 kHz.

Thanks.

Looks like a similar solution to Bubble UPnP.

Given Qobuz lock Chromecast to 24/96 in their apps, I wonder how reliable 24/192 is to Chromecast via LMS.

The question is what "reliable" means here. All I can say it works, so chromecast protocol is capable of doing that in general.

If all Qobuz sees is LMS as the destination, perhaps it's not a problem.

Yeah "Source First" has been the philosophy of Linn systems for decades perhaps explaining the success of their LP12 turntables

On the level of pure logic, the source is obviously essential...

But if in the time of the LP the quality of the signal delivered by the same vinyl turntable could go from execrable to excellent due to the adjustment of the arm and the wear of the diamond, therefore varying in gigantic proportions depending on the turntable models , arms, cells, adjustments of the horizontal and vertical reading angle, fidelity of the RIAA phono stage....

this famous sentence which therefore had a sound reality in the practice of the LP era... . no longer has one today: the qualitative differences between streamer and endpoint are as thin as a sheet of Bible paper... And digital sources delivering a garbage signal are extremely rare... I don't have any in all case never encountered... and I listent a lot since the first generation of CD players in 1983, through the appearance of the Airport express and the solutions that followed... and I use it every day to see how they evolve: Itunes, WMP, Jriver, Foobar, Audirvana, Roon... on Mac and on PC (for Foobar)... with UpNP-DLNA, Musicast, Airplay, Chromecast (via Roon)... and soon Wiim Pro Plus to have a Roon Ready endpoint (although Chromecast is completely transparent from Roon)....
