Qobuz + Lumin = Headache

@johnah5 

I recently started using the U2 Mini and stream with Qobuz and while I found the app to be NOT the most intuitive it got easier once I read through the online tutorial.

I use the Lumin app as opposed to the Qobuz app- there is a momentary delay when loading up a new album but no more than Spotify or other services. One thing that did get confusing was how to add favorites by album instead of by track or artist- it all depends upon where you add from. I don’t like that when I select a track from the album info side that it repopulates the tracks in the queue. I’m sure there are other quirks t be found but overall I wouldn’t say that the Lumin app is garbage- just takes a little work.

My experience with Qobuz on the Lumin App on Apple has been very good.  I was using Tidal until a year ago and to me they perform the same from an app perspective.  I was running the Aurender app previously and found that to be extremely frustrating. 

There are lots of good streamers out there.  My advice is to find the one with the HMI that you like.  I don't like the Qobuz ap much.  My choice is Roon but every streamer has it's fans.  Arrange to spend some time with different brands.

I used the TEAC/Lumin/ Esoteric app for several years, Tidal then Qobuz. I have switched to an Innuos pulse. Their Sense app is outstanding, no lag, easy searches and playlist management plus native Radio Paradise. I also have a Node and prefer Sense to BluOS which is high praise. 

Sense is a great app that will only get better.
