Still no Android app /support? Sorry, dealbreaker...

Hmh what exactly do you mean? I have a Synology NAS and have three servers installed on it besides the basic Synology Media Server. Those are the servers from Minim, Bubble and Logitech. Out of these four the Minimserver works best with either the Android Bubble or Naim apps I use. These apps offer a lot more opportunities compared to the rather basic Synology app imo. One big advantage of the Minimserver is its capability to show all cover art razor sharp whereas all other servers fail to do so. Another advantage is Minims capability to be easily configured in order to stream all flac files as .wav-files instead (being it 16/44 or (up to) 24/192 resolution files).

If you use a VPN and are still "detected" as being from somewhere else the service you have used seems useless. So you better try another VPN like eg Vypr. Another reason for things not working out as they should might be using a credit card with US/non EU origin. I did not succeed to buy from Pono due to not owning an appropiate US cc. But Qobuz does accept PayPal so this might not be an issue. All in all I would say it is worth the hassle since Qobuz is by far the best streaming service imo. Good catalog + reliable and easy to use software with lots of functionality. And they where not only the first to offer 16-44 but obviously have an audiophile background... Live and let live...

How should he? No one has besides a few guys involved in the project.... ? Live and let live...

Hello Jesus, glad to hear that your microRendu might soon be available! Please go for it til April... ? I am looking forward to it anyways and have two more questions: 1 Do you have plans to support MQA in the future? 2 Will the microRendu work with the updated Burson Conductor v2+ Sabre /XMOS implementation (technical details can be found here Burson Audio – Conductor V2+ ) as well as the EC Designs Mosaic T DAC (of course using their USB to Toslink bridge too)? EC designs - Home Best regards zikarus

As mentioned above you need a renderer to play your music. Something like e. g. the Sonore Sonicorbiter SE which you put inbetween your NAS and DAC and which will be displayed in Bubble as the renderer.
