192 khz/24 bit Albums on Qobuz

easiest way to search is by artist. then scroll down and you can quickly see all the albums and see the 24/192 choices (96/24 are not bad either). and if you use Roon, you will also see any files you have on your server too, not just Quboz.

i’m especially interested in ’Golden Age’ jazz; and lately have been deep into Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Grant Green, Thelonious Monk, and Dexter Gordon......just to name a few. stereo and mono titles.

So I did that on the Qobuz App (not the store). I searched on "Main Artist", Allman Brothers. Clicked on "See all releases" and 99 albums showed up and 28 of them had the "Hi-Res AUDIO" logo on them. I had to click on the 28 individual "album covers" to see the khz. It varied from 44khz (surprising for Hi-Res) to 192khz. Not trivial at all.

Doing the same thing on the Qobuz Store I was able to filter it to different HI-RES QUALITY. The choices were 44.1, 48, 96, 192khz. There were 11 192khz albums.
 
To know what is available in 192khz I have to go back and forth from the store to the app. A major PIA. Although I just saw a button in the store called "Listen on Qobuz" which then queued up the 192khz album in the streaming app. I guess that's the easiest approach now.

Are you doing something different ?

I see that you figured out that Not everything on Qobuz that says Hi-Res is 24/192.  So you still need to dig. But once you start on it, that goes quickly by artist.  I have had both Qobuz and Tidal.  I ended up dropping Tidal as I thought the sound quality from Qobuz across the board at any bitrate was better sounding.  Once I switched DAC's from my Linn to DCS I found the difference more pronounced.

readheads -- I hope you’re using balanced analog from the Ayre Codex for your comparisons. Ayre stuff seems to sound distinctly better with balanced connections.

@redheads the Node2i does output 192 through optical, i’m listening to it at the moment. Outputting to my Cambridge DacMagic+

I found that you need a decent Tos-link cable that has the bandwidth to transmit 24/192. Some cheap ones don’t have the necessary throughput.
