What is it? Which products support it? Easy, hi-res streaming across a wide variety of hi-fi products
-

Qobuz Connect is finally here, and it has been quite the wait for the hires music-streaming platform to release this much-anticipated feature. Qobuz tends to be the audiophile's music-streaming service of choice, thanks to its extensive high-resolution and CD-quality catalogue, adjacent download store for hires albums, and detailed, spacious sound quality. Qobuz is supported in a wide variety of hi-fi products, too - across pretty much every major (and even many niche) brands that support wireless streaming.
A Connect version, that lets you stream music directly from the app to your hi-fi product over the network for easier and high-resolution lossless playback, has long been on the wish list.
For comparison, Spotify Connect has been available since 2013, while Tidal Connect appeared later in 2020 and is available in various wireless speakers, network audio streamers, connected systems, and wireless active speakers. Qobuz Connect officially launched at High End Munich in May 2025, but it has been in the works for much longer than that. Rumours and beta versions were mentioned in various online hi-fi forums for many months before the official release.

What is Qobuz Connect and how does it work?
