Qobuz launches Android TV app (but there’s a catch)

Qobuz has launched an Android TV app that allows users to access its catalogue of 100 million tracks on their televisions. The app is available on the Google Play Store and is compatible with all devices that support Google TV, including brands like Sony, TCL, and Hisense. Users can easily download the app, log in, and start streaming, with features like playlists, albums, and personalized recommendations designed for larger displays. However, the app has a limitation where all audio is resampled to 48kHz due to the Android TV operating system, regardless of the original quality. This means that users connecting their TVs to soundbars or AV receivers will also experience this limitation. While casual listeners may find the app satisfactory, dedicated Qobuz subscribers seeking high-resolution audio may prefer alternatives like the NVIDIA Shield or dedicated streaming DACs to avoid the resampling issue. The 48kHz cap is a restriction of the Android platform, not Qobuz itself.
