I'm sure Qobuz is probably sending out some pretty high-information streams compared to Tidal though so this may not be a fair comparison. With the Tidal app I can pretty much run roughshod over it and, at any resolution CD or MQA, hit the random button pretty aggressively and it doesn't skip a beat. The Tidal desktop app is more robust in my situation and needs a lot less hand holding than Audirvana in terms of its buffer settings (you can't adjust these in Tidal desktop but you can in Audirvana). I have Tidal HiFi that I run through the Tidal Windows desktop app or Audirvana for Windows 10 and I can stream any CD quality or Masters Hi-Res without issue (24/96 and lower) on most days. Now, I don't have Qobuz so take this for what it's worth. I've got a fairly dated router-a TP-link 300N. I have even slower internet, maybe 4.8mbps on a good day. I'm using a cheap router supplied by my ISP, Centurylink, so not sure if it's possible that different router solution may possibly help (like one that separated wi-fi portion of duties)? I am using an ethernet cable between my server (Antipodes EX), so currently using a hardwired setup.Īnyways, I am otherwise well pleased with my experience using Qobuz with Roon. This is somewhat unfortunate, and not my preference, but I would like to know if there is something that I could do to help my situation. We live in a rural area where faster internet may not be easily obtained, or cost effective, though perhaps that may change.ĭoes anyone know what Mbps speed is considered a good speed for streaming hi-res files (I wonder if this is the limiting factor of my setup)? Of course not all of Qobuz files are hi-res, but I wonder how this works in the reverse? Are all of the files that are available in hi-res on Qobuz available to stream on a lower tier streaming plan? I'm thinking to just downgrade my plan to the Hi Fi plan to address the issue I'm experiencing of higher res files not loading/playing properly. Pretty consistently any title off of Qobuz that is a higher resolution file will begin to play, and then abruptly stop after maybe 10 seconds and skip to the next track (playing Roon Radio). My internet speed test shows my connection to be at 10 mbps download speed, but I also see that speed dip at times. I signed up for the Studio plan to include hi-res streaming, but I'm encountering issues with the higher resolution files playing properly. I've recently signed up for a Qobuz trial, using Roon and it's great.for the most part.
