Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that. Joachim demonstrated Qobuz support via Airplay, and I asked him about the possibility of direct support for Qobuz within the CI. He didn't exactly rule it out, but his reply was definitely more focused on the fact that Roon and Qobuz are now talking again, which (we assume) is likely to result in Qobuz being available via Roon. In any case, native support for Qobuz didn't feature in the list of top three or four priorities for the CI software.
Good to see that RAAT is their highest priority.
I currently stream Qobuz via AirPlay - which is easy to do. While the SQ is acceptable, it is not as good as Chromecast (which does not support gapless playback with Qobuz) and well below Roon Air. The other point is that AirPlay is limited to CD quality. I am glad that there is further confirmation that Roon and Qobuz are serious about getting together.
