Like a caveman, I just plug in and use my phone to control it!

At home I do use an amp thay supports direct play, there's a few companies that support Qobuz in thay way - and self hosted options too. To make use of the fidelity.

I only used Tidal a while back during a free trial, so can't comment too much. I think Tidal might have more wide spread functuonality adoption than Qoboz - but they do seem to be pushing out updates to meet feature parity.

Qoboz has been great to use though. I actually find I get a wider spectrum of recommendations than Spotify. Spotify seemed to type cast my current listening habits agressively, and it would take a while to break out of that loop each time.

Thank you! I'm going to have a listen through these this week - you may have just broadened my horizons!

I have a custom domain and they accepted it a couple months ago - maybe give it another shot if it was a while back?

Ah this is an interesting point. I think Qoboz are active in expanding their libraries and they do take requests on site. Do you have any JP recommendations - its not a region I've ever really listened to?

I've not seen anyone recommend an alternative like Qobuz in these "fuck spotify" discussions - I think it's a good honest alternative?

What about an Odroid N2+? That could run coreelec or Android well? For Jellyfin its great, though you're very like going to run into issues if you want the likes of Netflix on it.

Well this is friggin' adorable!
