Does Marantz Support Qobuz? Yes, Here's How to Do It

Part 1. Stream Directly with Marantz Qobuz Connect

The most direct way to play Qobuz on Marantz is using Qobuz Connect. This feature allows you to use the familiar, feature-rich Qobuz app on your phone, tablet, or computer as a remote control. Your Marantz device then pulls the high-resolution audio stream directly from Qobuz's servers, ensuring maximum audio fidelity.

Step 1. Ensure your Marantz device and your smartphone or tablet are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is essential for the devices to communicate.

Step 2. Open the official Qobuz app on your mobile device or computer and begin playing any song.

Step 3. On the "Now Playing" screen, look for the Qobuz Connect icon. It typically looks like a speaker or a screen with a Wi-Fi symbol. Tap on this icon.

Step 4. A list of available devices on your network will appear. Select your Marantz amplifier, receiver, or streamer from this list. The music will seamlessly transfer playback to your Marantz system, often at a higher quality than your phone could output on its own.

Part 2. Use the HEOS App for Integrated Marantz Qobuz Control

If you prefer to manage all your music services from a single application or frequently use multi-room audio, the HEOS app is your command center. It allows you to log into your Qobuz account directly and browse your library without leaving the HEOS ecosystem.

Step 1. Open the HEOS app on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2. Navigate to the "Music" tab at the bottom of the screen and select "Music Services". Followed by "Add More Music".

Step 3. From the list of available services, find and select "Qobuz". You will be prompted to enter your Qobuz account username and password.

Step 4. Once logged in, Qobuz will be fully integrated. You can now browse artists, albums, playlists, and new releases directly within the HEOS app and play them on any Marantz device on your network.
