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 prefer BubbleUPnP. I have both.

Then you can play Qobuz direct using your phone as a remote control anywhere in wifi network range.

JPlay has a better user interface than MConnect.  Bubble UPnP is for Android I believe.   I find Jplay is more stable than MConnect with certain devices and MConnect is better with others.  I have not tried either with Hegel yet but if Hegel is suggesting JPlay, they may have tested it.

@fuzztone I am confused.  BubbleUPnP runs on the PC, correct, not the phone.

What app do I use on the phone to control it?

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

 

I think I need a network diagram, lol.  Seriously though, I'm not clear what apps are doing what.


Is this correct?

mconnect... Runs on phone and connects to Qobuz servers and streams music using upnp to Hegel?

BubbleUPnP... runs on pc, connects to Qobuz servers, streams music to Hegel using upnp.  Controlled from phone by ???
