The Problem

Qobuz on Linux?
It's been complicated.

You pay for Hi-Res audio, but you've been stuck with browser limitations. Until now.

  • Web players cap output at 48kHz — goodbye, hi-res
  • No official desktop app for Linux users
  • Getting bit-perfect to your DAC? Nearly impossible
  • Audio resampling destroys the quality you paid for
