Hi, Aurender Team

Hey I want to thank you for getting Qobuz Connect out so quickly. I eagerly added it to my N150 and gave it a go. At first, I didn't understand why things didn't really look different. I was using Conductor and it was working more or less as I expected. But then I realized oh, this is like Spotify's Connect feature so I can stream from the Qobuz iOS App to the N150.

Convenient feature for friends, sure, thanks. But please, please keep your own Conductor version of Qobuz because unfortunately the audio sound quality via Qobuz Connect is WORSE than Qobuz in Conductor itself. I don't know the technical reasons why, I just know my ears tell me not to bother with Qobuz's iOS App unless I'm casually exploring. When I really want to enjoy, I use Conductor's Qobuz "channel" and the quality is almost as good as my local hi-res files.

(I realize that last sentence can be dismissed as "subjective opinion" however I would guess that most Aurender customers are seeking the highest audio quality for their high quality systems, hence the purchase of an Aurender product. My system is very revealing but frankly it doesn't take any A/B testing to hear that Qobuz Connect is more compressed and muffled in comparison to Conductor Qobuz–it's that obvious.)

So all this to just say: Please please please...KEEP Conductor's Qobuz streaming feature!!! Please keep the code that gives us high quality sound in Conductor, and thank you for making the sound quality in Conductor with Qobuz outstanding to begin with in the first place!

Thank you!

Laurence
