mconnect Player HD +4

Using an Oppo 105 player and this app, both Tidal and Qobuz sound great but share the same problem: albums do not play in their entirety. Instead, music stops after each song ends. To play the next song one has to manually click “next”. This happens often, but not always. Puzzling. And frustrating when you just want to hit “play” and listen to an entire album non-stop.
Please fix this.

I have an iFi Zen Stream and use Qobuz as my source for streaming music. Unfortunately Qobuz doesn’t work directly with iFi so the only way to make it work is through mconnect. Frankly I expected a nightmare trying to get this to work, but everything went surprisingly well. Rather than mess with mconnect Lite I decided to spend the six bucks for the HD version as I listen to hi-res music and figured the HD version would probably help avoid other headaches versus using the free version. Long story short, I downloaded the app, signed into Qobuz, and to my surprise everything just popped up ready to go. It took me a few minutes to figure out the menu/search options, but once I was acclimated everything was there — all my playlists, favorites, etc. so I was off and running. And the best part — it sounds AWESOME. I’m beyond happy with this app, and I don’t get to say that about many apps. I don’t know what past problems have been and maybe issues have since been fixed, but my recommendation would be to spring for the HD version as my experience has been very positive — really the best 6 bucks I’ve ever spent. Thank you mconnect!!!

I was hoping to use this app in order to stream Qobuz to a Marantz ND8006 streaming CD player. Oddly, it worked well for a brief period (a few minutes) when I first installed the app. However, the next time I tried to use this functionality it completely failed. I have deleted and reinstalled the app but no luck. At this point the app does not see the streaming device at all. I am hoping a future update will fix things, but I am not that encouraged since I suspect that part of the problem is due to the pretty horrible HEOS app that Marantz uses. My suggestion is that anyone who wants a streaming device for use with Qobuz should probably avoid Marantz until their software sees Qobuz natively.

UPDATE. As a result of updates to the app and iOS I am now able to stream Qobuz on the Marantz streamer. There are still a few quirks in how it works, but it gets the job done. Thanks.
