Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz?


Hello All,

 

I finally took the plunge into streaming and I LOVE it! I bought the Bluesound Node and it's in my main system. I am using the DENAFRIPS Pontus II 12th and bypassing the Node's DAC. I have a second 2 channel system and was thinking of adding streaming there as well. Can I buy say the Cambridge MXN10 (I will also be using an outboard DAC on that one as well) and then just download the app for the Cambridge and be able to stream on my second system as well?

 

I will never be streaming both at the same time, just one or the other. I am using adapters for hardwired as my router is on another floor. I subscribe to Qobuz.

 

So is this doable? And any caveats I should know about? The reason I'm looking at the Cambridge is I hear it bests the Node in the "budget friendly" category. I may actually bring the Cambridge into the main system and move the Node...

 

Thank you in advance for all your help here...

 

Best Regards,

Brian

Thanks @mahler123 ​​​​@mattw73. I checked out the Primare, but one important thing is a USB Ato B for connection to my Pontus DAC. Cambridge MXN10 does not offer that USB connection. So I am now extremely close to pulling the trigger on the Eversolo DMP-A6. It's more than I wanted to spend but the reviews are great and users consistently mention ease of use for the app (which is also very important for me), and it looks like it has the USB connection. I am leaning heavily in this direction. Then I'll move the Node to my second system and have the Eversolo in my main system...

 

Thanks again for the replies, feel free to offer advice/alternative solutions/suggestions😁

@kingbr yes, I was going to bring up the lack of USB on the Prisma but since you had mentioned the Cambridge I thought it might not be important to you. Definitely a deal breaker for most people. I personally haven't heard it but would assume the Eversolo is a safe bet. I was just chatting with a fellow that has also tried a good amount of budget-ish streamers and he had good things to say about the DMP-A6. He liked it so much he upgraded to the newer and costlier A8. He went to the higher unit in hopes of using its internal Dac. I think your Pontus is plenty fine for the A6. Good luck and hope to hear your impressions somewhere down the line. 

@mattw73 Thanks so much! I literally just watched a video review on the DMP A-6 and I’m about to pull the trigger! Sealed the deal for me! Ya I thought the MXN10 offered USB and was heartbroken that it didn’t…again thanks so much for taking the time to respond and for the advice! HUGE help man👍🏻😊

You can stream in as many systems as you like if each has a streamer input.  

You can/can’t . If you are just using one system at a time you can. If you want to use both at the same time you can not. A Qibuz duo membership lets me have both streamers going at once. 

"Access to the QOBUZ streaming service is strictly personal and cannot be used on several multiple Devices at the same time, except for DUO and FAMILY offers."

If you use Roon and the streamers are end points then that’s a different matter.
