Qobuz has revealed its Qobuz Connect feature is in beta and that many manufacturers are working on integrating the app into their streamer software. Could James Tanner please tell us if Bryston is working on Qobuz Connect? Apps such as this seem to be the future of streaming.

Would love to know if this is coming to the BR-20. Would like to see this added.

[James Tanner]

I know the software guys are getting the licenses.

Sounds like a good start.

Thanks,

I came here to start a thread with this very question.

So do we think it would appear only for the BR20 or also include discontinued products that run MM (BDP 3, pi etc).

Hi James, would these be the same 'guys' working on Tidal Connect?

Hopefully they will not end up like those working on OS3

[cmccaul]

I'm still patiently waiting for OS3... 

[Stefan_DR3]

Awww jinxed it!  You guys shouldn’t have mentioned OS3. 
This thread will be devolving shortly…

What about compatibility with the BDP's i.e. BDP-2 and BDP-3?

It’s expected. I am told they are developing on a BDP2 so I would expect it to be compatible with BDP2 and newer.

[Rod_S]

Thanks

I'm contemplating subscribing to a streaming service for the 1st time and looking at the various options out there and also what my BDP-2 can and can't connect with. What caught my interest was seeing a few albums from bands I like being released in Dolby Atmos only on streaming and not on physical media. Researching a bit it seems Apple Music is a source for the Atmos mixes but the BDP-2 is not cable of accessing Apple Music. Is that correct?

[jobiwon]

Tidal and Qobuz are the 2 primary services I am aware of.

[Rod_S]

Thanks

I found out apparently Tidal supports Dolby Atmos, as does Amazon Music, has anyone tried streaming an Atmos albums or even singles thru a BFP-2 or BDP-3 from Tidal and if so did it pass the Atmos mix through?

[Stefan_DR3]

Pass Atmos through to what?  The BDP is a 2-channel device and has no HDMI output or Dolby decoder. Furthermore the software does not allow you to select Dolby streams, only FLAC, MP3, etc.

Here’s a list. You can filter by Atmos support.

I am so desperately waiting for Qobuz Connect to replace MM for the BDA 3.14

Ah yes, very good point. Although the BDP does recognize a multi-channel FLAC file, as you state, the unit is a 2 channel output device. That's the piece I had forgotten about, I knew for years it correctly sees multi-channel sources and identifies the number of channels but can only output the left and right channel from those files. So it makes sense it would behave the same for a streamed source from Qobuz, etc. vs one being read from a USB thumb drive or a NAS.

Regarding no Dolby decoder, I'm not sure it would matter and wouldn't need one providing the downstream device does have one like a home theater receiver or surround sound processor.
