Volumio runs as a DLNA endpoint (unless it’s changed in the last couple of years) so the Pecan Pi+ should work as described in this article.

Sorry, I don’t know, you could try VLC maybe?

I just received an Orchard Audio Pecan Pi+ DAC/streamer. It is loaded with Volumio. I would like to be able to stream QoBuz without having to pay for Volumio Premium. I am admittedly not very tech savvy. Can I do tis without buying additional hardware? If so would you walk me through it? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for this article, very interesting.
Is there any controller for linux to stream qobuz ?

I’m wondering if it is possible to stream Qobuz to Foobar2000, using foobar’s BubbleUPnP component.

Looking at the configuration tabs, it appears my Marantz 8805 is functioning as both Media Server and Renderer which means (I think) that the Marantz should be receiving the Qobuz stream directly from its wired connection to the internet. Is that correct? That is, the bubbleupnp is running on my Mac, but the stream isn’t going through the Mac, yes?

Thank you very much for this guide. Very useful.
I have it nor running with:
Qobuz Studio account
Linn Kazoo controller on Windows
Bubble UPNP server on a Linux machine (NAS)
Denon AVR-3600H amplifier/renderer (capable of 192 kHz – 24 bit)

It works flawlesly, but what ever i do, it never goes above 44 kHz – 24bit.

I don’t know, what i’m doing wrong…

Any ideas?

I experienced the error message in Linn Kazoo which you mentioned when I used the default OpenHome proxy “room” and “name” variable values, which happened to be the same value. When I changed the “room” variable to be a unique value, I stopped getting this error.

Note that the hifizine instructions actually say to do this — “In the “Room” field, type in a different name.” — but it’s easy not to appreciate what they are telling you to do, I didn’t at first!)

Anyhow, try changing one of them (in EVERY OpenHome proxy you create) and see if that solves the problem.

Great article, this method works beautifully. Thank you for publishing it. It’s so nice to be able to stream Qobuz to my each of my stereo rigs alongside of my own music from my UPnP music server!

Qobuz, if you read this, please continue to offer a route to stream your music via DNLA/UPnP/OpenHome (eg BubbleUPnP). I want to use open source software, and I resent services that lock me into proprietary streaming solutions like Roon or Heos. Frankly, that’s the reason I opted for Qobuz over Amazon HD! I suspect there are lots of others like me who have no interest in running proprietary software or being forced to buy specific ‘approved’ hardware.

Update: Everything working when using BubbleUPnP server installed on my Windows 10 computer. Lumin has the Qobuz icon and I am able to access my Qobuz account. As noted by doom above, I am unable to view Qobuz icon in Lumin when using BubbleUPnP server installed on my Volumio/Raspberry Pi 4. Still happy to be up and running!

Thanks a bunch John!!!

Similar story here- no Qobuz option in Lumin when using the BubbleUPnP Server from the Raspberry; however, when using the BubbleUPnP Server installed on my Windows 10 computer the Volumio/Raspberry shows up as a renderer and Qobuz works using Lumin (iOS) as the controller.
