Those problems you have to make QOBUZ-TIDAL work is concerning me. I will buy a D1-Tube (mk2) DAC for sure, but... I am still hesitating if I take the TotalDac SERVER or go for the ARIES or AURENDER, which booth seems to have a much better TIDAL (and QOBUZ for the Aries) Integration !
Plus, knowing that the firmware that allow streaming with iPeng offer a LESS GOOD sound that the firmware for localy stored files playing only, is quite embarassing (and there is NO WAY I will change firmware each time I want to go to Qobuz, and change back Firmware when I want to play localy stored files !).
Indeed I am instead looking for a "super integration" of the Streaming option into the Music server application: Ideally I would like to be able to built a playlist that include a mix of locally stored files and of Music streamed from Qobuz/tidal. This will be a REAL integration sof the Streaming function ! I am dreaming ? (I understood that the McIntosh MB100 music server/streamer does this !!)
