Qubuz in the USA is just around the corner.

I got my invitation to apply as a Beta tester for Qobuz today. I filled out the form. Hope to be selected. I assume this means we are closer to a real launch.
 
Well signed up for the beta and got a response, Looks like there are too many people of my age group in the beta. LOL,

SO it notes

"Have no fear - we are adding additional beta testers every day, and we should get everyone on board by mid-February. As an early invitee, you have first priority on our waiting list."
 
Same for me. I responded they should reconsider as they have a few issues that bother me.

Does anyone else have issues with hang ups. I have a hard time streaming high rez files. I even have problems saving to my offline library where they play without issue. Some songs just hang up saving.

Files do seem to sound better after going to the offline library. I think. Not 100% sure. I wonder if its un-compressing the FLAC files . I have determined FLAC does not sound as good as WAV on my system.

Well lookie here, after being rejected I got accepted. . So I signed up, picked the Studio plan and I have been streaming for 3 hours and doing some comparisons with Tidal via my Lumin,. To early to tell.
 
Stupid Qobuz. Now I'm really pissed with these guys. It was running so slow and went to 30 second clips on me. As such I uninstalled it and it ate my software. It caused driver conflicts and other problems that shut down AO and Roon Server wont work anymore. Its like they dropped a poison pill bomb in my computer. This is going to cost me probably 10 or more hours to clean up. I'm pretty mad. Thats a lot of days without any audio. Its going to take a week of sorting to figure this out.
 
I swear I am not trying to start a flame war here, but the thing I enjoy most about my tuner and turntable is no software updates. They have their own issues, but it’s nice not to deal with software on those sources.

My phono pre is at the shop. I won't see it for about 14 weeks. I have nothing to listen too.

On the bright side, i had to reset my computer so everything is wiped. I am going to load JPlay Femto server this time and try something new. I have bitched about Roon long enough. Im officially off the pot.
 
Never had a problem with software updates on any of the various streamers or music services. It amazes me all the problems people claim to have. But then I keep things simple. One streamer with it's designated software. Only extra parts and pieces were updated LPS's to replace wall warts.
 
I have been on the phone trying to reset my system. I hear there are a lot more complaints than what you hear online. Its possibly its a buggy program at this time.
 
Full Roon/Qobuz integration will be available tomorrow. If the program were "buggy" as you contend then thousands of people wouldn't be using it successfully and Roon would not have completed the integration. A simple Windows program removal should not have been an issue.
 
And there’re people who claim PC’s are exactly the same as “dedicated” music servers and streamers.
