#HEOS QOBUZ PATCH#
Replace generic ethernet patch cords with audio grade LAN cables. I’m using the two from Ubiquiti and they’ve upgraded both the speed & responsiveness of my home network as well as improved the sound quality of streamed content. My personal recommendation based on years of experience and trying out different brands and models: get a wired only router and an external independent WIFI access point. How good your router is, it will affect the overall performance of your streaming setup. The level of improvement can be compared without exaggeration to getting a new DAC that costs at least twice as much. Our NET Card FEMTO, the first ever audiophile network adapter & the M12 SWITCH GOLD will guarantee absolute best sound possible with network audio streaming. These are the most effective hardware tweaks that will bring the sound quality of network audio to a completely new dimension.
#HEOS QOBUZ ANDROID#
JPLAY on Windows with Bubble UPNP on Android (as a remote) is one example.Ĥ. Native Tidal & Qobuz client apps are OK, but you can get much better results with software players that were developed specifically to improve sound quality of both offline and online content. Use software optimized for sound quality. Ideally, our network should not transfer anything apart from the music stream for best sound quality. Browsing web might be ok, but heavy downloads will definitely downgrade playback quality. Whenever you listen to music online, try avoiding excessive network activity. Limit network traffic when playing an online stream. The use of WIFI in a computer audio system should be limited to controlling playback from a remote device (smartphone or tablet) – never for transferring audio. It adds latency, often leads to dropouts or stuttering, but most importantly it never sounds as good as a wired Ethernet connection.
Wireless connection while very convenient is not desired in a hi-end audio system. Never use WIFI for streaming music content to your network player. However, with some tweaks, we can get very close to a local playback performance. There are just too many variables in the path. Even though we now have access to lossless music services not only in 16/44, but in hi-rez too (Qobuz Sublime up to 24/192), the reality is that streaming will never sound as good as local playback. Many music lovers and audiophiles tend to stream their favorite albums nowadays instead of playing downloads offline.
