Qobuz pushes Google Cast to Hi-Res compatibility!
On October 6th, we here at Qobuz announced the expansion of our universe of audio-connected devices with Google Cast compatibility. Qobuz has been the leading online music service available in CD quality with this technology.The Google Cast protocol arrived to an already evolving, audio-connected market, which is expanding exponentially. The protocol allows you to listen to music directly on any HiFi system, using a phone or tablet as a remote control.Obviously Qobuz could not miss the boat - but we were hesitant - due mostly to the fact that, at the time, Google Cast could not read Hi-Res files.With the updated Chromecast audio (firmware 1.17), you can now enjoy your music in Hi-Res streaming via Google Cast if you are subscribed to Qobuz Sublime! This important innovation was made possible through various exchanges with Google over several months.
