Qubuz in the USA is just around the corner.

It won't recognize your sign-in with Aurender. You need to set it up from scratch using your e-mail, nickname and password using setup no sign in. Then when you have it set up through the Qobuz website log-in to Qobuz from inside the Conductor app just like with Tidal at the Streaming Setup screen. It still works as I did it for a friend a couple of hours ago.

You know Jack I have asked the question to Tidal a few times, are there any music servers in the US and never got an answer

I wonder if it really matters where the servers are based other than for redundancy, i.e. outages and what not.

Hard to say. IN some cases users will report cannot access the content, while others are not having a problem at all. Could be a server location for a specific geographic location throughout the US or in some other country.
 
The front door for the web based playback which is https://play.qobuz.com is hosted on Amazon's network. Right now based on the information that is available publicly it is hosted in Ireland. Not sure if users in Europe are hitting the same servers or not I am not sure.
 
Running Quboz through the Aurender N10 with Tidal running side by side, the needle is holding on Quboz.

One thing I am noticing on some of the selections I choose, they won’t play. I have not tried to delete and reinstall them into the library.

I am wondering if they have specific genres or artists on different servers in different locations and maybe not all pointed or allowed access between them and the U.S.?

There are some tracks/artists that are only available for purchase but the interface does not show that. Qobuz app will let you know once you select it but not before selection. That is one of the issues that the folks on Computeraudiophile asked Qobuz product manager who is actively participating in the Qobuz Issues thread. I am not sure how Aurender handles that.

Some more research yesterday on where content might be hosted. I am in Princeton, NJ and when I was playing using Audirvana to stream to HQPlayer Embedded the stream was hosted on Amazon content hosting which is found the closest entry point which was Amazon NYC hosting facility.

But ! Qobuz isn't available in your country. Is what I still get, but mid Nov is what I hear.


I'm just going to wait and see.

Try this and see if it still works:

If you want to do the free trial use this link:

From your laptop or desktop.

https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/

After your account is created then go to your profile and use the gift code CEDIA2018

It will be a UK account but still a free 3 month trial.

If for some reason the CEDIA2018 code doesn’t work try RMAF2018 as it should be active once the show opens

Sign in again using the Lumin app

I'm surprised it should create a UK account. This has implications on the subscription price (after the trial and US should have the lowest price) and available music (due to regional music licensing differences), if the same account is used instead of creating another.

When this was announced at CEDIA I doubt they had the infrastructure or licensing agreements in place to set up US based accounts. When these accounts time out allowing people to experience the Qobuz interface they will have to wait for the roll out in the US to sign up again or if the roll out happens before they can transfer the accounts to the US ones and then start paying the US prices. I am going to keep my paid UK account that I have had since last Summer until I can see what the differences are in selection even though if costs about $6 more at this point as the difference in sound quality and trouble free operation are worth it to me. If the US selection is the same or better I will cancel the UK account and open a US one to save the money or upgrade. I signed up for one of the free trial accounts using another e-mail account just to try the Hi-Res. I only use Tidal as a last resort. Streaming as a type using the free Sublime account.
 
For Lumin users in the US: Have you been able to activate the 21-day free trial period for Qobuz on your Lumin? A friend of mine said he was able to do so last night. My Aurender app used to have the Qobuz link in its Settings (that could not be activated) but it has been removed during one of the recent updates and has not yet returned.
 
Wow. A/B comparison with tidal tonight confirms my casual thought that, on balance, to my ear, on my system, without a scientific double blind test or anything, the average track on Qobuz beats the socks off the same track via tidal.
