| Integrated that blew you away Hegel H390. Great integrated amp, although the added “Streamer” is almost useless and the added DAC is okay, but a better DAC really makes it sing. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? One of my all time favorite. Suite For Flute and Jazz Piano. Claude Bolling, Jean-Pierre Rampal. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday My software is up to date and Airplay is all I see for my Aurender streamer, but my AVR sees it just fine. I just sent some questions to Qobuz Support and we’ll see what happens. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Same here, the only way to see my Aurender is with AirPlay. The list says Aurender should work. | |
