Rivo+ & Qobuz Connect

[Giovanotti]

Is Qobuz Connect already running on Rivo+?

How does it work via iOS (Apple) Phone?

Hello,

Yes it is.
As per Android phone you must select the proper Volumio output between the available Qobuz connect endpoints, from the Qobuz app output menu.

I know how to use Connect in general …

I rather meant with “how does it work”, with regard to stability, performance and responsiveness?

@Giovanotti And just like that Volumio v3.812 fixed everything for Qobuz Connect to the RiVO. It is now flawless. Connects immediately, plays immediately, no stuttering at all like you might get with Airplay. Bit rates are accurate. Image on screen immediate. Also, you can jump around from song to song, and even song from Qobuz connect to song from Volumio software and no issues all.

Also, I didn’t have to turn off DSP, clear the que or anything. Just played and it is working.

Great Job by the Volumio team staying on top of this.

My full review (recommendation) of the unit can be found here.

Volumio RiVO Review (vis-a-vis Raspberry Pi5 with iFi Power Elite) Intro My set up is now the Volumio RIVO (formerly Pi5) with Ifi Power Elite power supply running to my Peachtree Carina150 amp and ESS dual 9068 Sabre DACS. The amp in turn feeds my Kef R3 Metas standalone speakers and Kef KC62 sub. I thought I would share my RIVO review from the standpoint of users currently using a Rasberry Pi and wondering how much the high end RIVO improves, if at all, the overall experience. I also co…

I bought Rivo+ now. Absolutely amazing & great sounding product, no matter if hardware or software! Especially Qobuz Connect → superb performance in every regard (fast and stable!) ! I totally recommend Volumio Rivo+.

Much better than Bluesound Node (and BluOS software which is incredible slowly working with large music libraries !)

I own a rivo plus, but in the quboz App there isn’t a source like rivo plus. What can i do to get this option?

Have you upgraded to the latest version of Qobuz on your Phone?
Have you enabled Qobuz Connect on the Rivo+ under sources?

Go to Volumio App and make sure that the latest update is installed (to be done in the app settings). I had the same problem as Rivo+ hadn’t the latest firmware… it must be this version:
