Well I was wrong... 24/192 files are not down sampled to 24/96 - they don't play at all. I will look for a an option in LMS to see if I can turn on down sampling. The Tedeschi Trucks Band album Signs is 24/192 (5370 kbps) whereas David Bowie's Let's Dance is 24/96 (3164 kbps). Bowie plays, TTB doesn't.
I guess it is time too hook up my HiFime Optical DAC to my main system and see what Qobuz can do.
@grey - thanks for the tip

Hopefully I can, all I have is my work laptop and the Navy has made us put those things on lockdown.
Edit: doing the same on the website in Safari

I got LMS to down sample from 24/192 to 24/96 by enabling the C-3PO plugin and changing one setting. TTB is now playing.
I noticed that a new program called sox is now running and using about 25% of the CPU. It doesn't seem to effect anything. No dropouts or stuttering.

Think he is saying he did a video of his main system and you can still hear the diffence in the videos
Well yeah!

You know what?
I did the same comparison, and thought that Qobuz didn't sound near as good as Tidal.
But then I realized while playing Qobuz there was a strand of speaker wire slightly out of alignment with the others.
I fixed that, and now I can't tell the difference!
Well yeah!
I actually do that often also, it works great
Fwiw I have an LG G7 and I'm able to get full studio or whatever the highest level 24/96 on my phone which I'm listen to right now
I use an iPhone X and have had no problems I have the studio package and can stream 24/192.

I haven’t played with it yet, Just thought since I was joining thru the iPhone app it may limit to CD quality like Tidal does from the model App since it is not even giving me the studio option.
Edit: and if that’s the case then it’s a none starter for me since my streaming is my primary source when I travel (HP), which I do all the time.

Are you attempting to sign up via the Qobuz app from App Store? Is so, then you'll get hit with a 30% Apple surcharge on the subscription. It looks that's what yer doing as the pricing is borked....by 30%.
