I have a NAC272 preamp/streamer (and NAP250 DR amp) which streams Tidal natively but not Qobuz. Was so pleased to find a solution in lieu of connecting an external DAC. I Installed mconnectHD on my iPad which is a UpNP server and it streams Qobuz seamlessly directly to the 272. I’m not a techie and wanted to pass this on in the event any other Naim users have the same issue. The best $6 I’ve spent in quite a while!
 
That's fantastic. An economical solution to listen to great music - Qobuz is great!

Agree! Mconnect/mconnectHD is a pretty good piece of software. I found it as useful as you did with my Oppo 205 streaming TIDAL and Qobuz, since the Oppo 205 has no native streaming apps. It (mconnect) also will stream to my LUMIN U1 Mini since that supports UPnP/DLNA as well. Why would I use mconnect over the native LUMIN app you ask: well I don’t usually, since I like the OpenHome support of the LUMIN app, but mconnect has implemented better sorting in Qobuz and supports sorting my favorited tracks by artist; the LUMIN app still only sorts Qobuz favorites by most recently added. So when going through my faves on some nights to build a playlist I like to use mconnect to see all my fave tracks grouped together by artist.

Mconnect has some bugs though. For example if I build a play queue with multiple tracks it usually stops playing songs after a couple and I have to hit the next track button to keep going. But otherwise, nice to have 3rd-party software that is as robust as mconnect for streamers without native apps.
