Lumin supports Qobuz Connect

Peter, when you say "Lumin X1 P-series U-series T3X T3 T2 D3 support Qobuz Connect in Firmware 19", are you referring to Firmware 19 for the Lumin app (e.g. the app on my iPhone?)

I'm using a Lumin P-1, and the Lumin app on my iPhone shows I am running Firmware version 18.1, released on 12/6/2024.

How do I update the Lumin P-1 firmware to version 19, and what is the step-by-steo protocol for that?

Thanks as always for your help.

In Lumin app, please set "Check for Firmware Updates" to No, then Yes. See if it prompts for firmware 19.0
 
I was able to update to FW 19.0 , but my (updated) Qobuz app does not show my T2 as selectable. The Qobuz Connect setting is turned on in my Lumin app, too.
 
You need to wait for Qobuz to release this feature in Qobuz app, probably version 9. Qobuz app Version 8.6.x does not support Qobuz Connect.
 
Okay, no worries. Please forgive me for my assumption. The OP was removed, I assumed that this was the official announcement, yet it seems it's still not working.

Not confronting, just curious as to what is going on. If you could elaborate further, it would be much appreciated. If not, eh?

We have all been waiting for quite some time. I guess a little bit longer won't hurt. Thanks in advance for any useful information you could provide though.

I'm confused, as usual....On my desktop version of Qobuz, I see:
JS Version - 7.2.0-b100
Desktop Version - 7.2.0-b129 (Intel)

No idea how to update this, but I will be in contact with Qobuz customer service.

Now for the LUMIN App in the main system: I'm still in Version 18, and although I can see the release notes for 19, I have no idea how to update it. I'm sure that there's probably an easy way that I'm missing to get both Qobuz and the LUMIN App updated, but no luck so far. (I have set everything to auto-update whenever prompted to.)

Thanks Peter and anyone else who might be able to help.

Looking forward to Qobuz Connect. I'm seeking some kind of news or press release that explains exactly what Qobuz Connect does and how it might benefit me.

Please don't.

Instead, wait for announcement from Qobuz in the future.

As for updating the firmware, please power cycle the Lumin hardware. Then in Lumin app, set Check for Firmware Updates to Off, then On.

Only for Lumin X1 P-series U-series T3X T3 T2 D3.

Thanks, Peter! Just got the firmware updated.

Waiting for Qobuz to do their thing now...

Sad to see that it won't work for my D2 in the bedroom system, but that's cool since I love the sound just as it is.

(I don't even know exactly what Qobuz Connect is, and how I might be able to benefit from it. I guess I'll have to wait until it gets released to find out.)

You will be able to use Qobuz app (instead of Lumin app) to play Qobuz to Lumin hardware. So you get the Qobuz app UI, which may be easier to use, and its features that are otherwise not offered by Lumin app, e.g. Autoplay.
 
I don't know about the Qobuz App being easier to use, but I do turn to it to get information not available on the LUMIN App from time to time. Honestly, the LUMIN App works so well, and sounds so good, I can't imagine controlling the main rig with anything else. I could see where Qobuz Connect might be helpful when playing Qobuz on non-LUMIN equipment...but again, I'm not sure exactly how.

My situation: I have a Bluetooth speaker and a car stereo that I stream Qobuz to via Bluetooth, both from the iPhone. Would Qobuz Connect make either of the above better, and exactly how? Would Connect allow me to stream music from my phone to other people's rigs with less hassle? I guess I'll have to wait until it becomes available to see what all it can do, and how it would apply to my specific needs.. because at this moment, I just don't understand what Qobuz Connect does that Qobuz doesn't. (Not familiar with Tidal Connect, either.) Is it just a matter of convenience? Does it affect sound quality? Is the big advantage that you can use it over Wifi as opposed to Bluetooth?

If anyone has an explanation (or a link) that details what Connect does, its benefits and exactly how it works, that would be greatly appreciated! For the record, I am not being lazy - I have searched quite a bit and haven't been able to find a good primer anywhere. Thanks in advance!

Hi Peter, any testing done by yourself, and/or the Lumin team, between the native app vs Qobuz Connect? Similar to that of the notes from the Roon vs Lumin app.
