JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone

Do I need the Jplay app to stream hi resolution from iPhone qobuz to a Hegel H190. The Qobuz app won’t do it by itself? A lot of confusing articles and posts.

I don’t want to purchase Jplay if it is not needed.

Hegel page about streaming mentions Qobuz only in its UPnP section and says to use Jplay.
Network, Streaming and Sound Formats (hegel.com)

I see wired solutions but I need to control the system from another room.  I could use the iphone to control a PC that is wired via USB but would prefer to just open an app on my phone and play music at hi resolution to the Hegel.

You can get the mconnect Player HD app that only costs $6.

I installed mconnect on my phone.  It does not see the Hegel.

It’s been a while since I did this, but you need to get mconnect to access your Qobuz account probably through Settings somewhere if you haven’t already.  Then on the right side there should be a bar to choose Qobuz as your source and it should appear in the right window area.  To access your playlists hit the hamburger at the top and you’ll see options to choose.  Once Qobuz is enabled, on the upper left of mconnect there should be blue toggle buttons that say “Play” and “Play to”.  “Play” will just play music on your phone’s speaker, and if you switch to “Play to” you should see a list of available UPnP devices and hopefully your Hegel will show up there so you can choose that (I think your phone needs to be on Wi-Fi for this)— if it doesn’t show up you might have to change a something in your Wi-Fi settings or maybe check the Hegel manual, but I’m not good with networking stuff so don’t have any specifics.  Hope this helps and you get it working. 🤞🤞🤞
