Denon And Marantz Just Made Qobuz Too Hot To Ignore

High-quality audio is most often associated with expensive equipment and an almost strictly wired setup, but companies like Denon, Marantz, and Qobuz are changing the narrative by proving that you can get really good, high-quality audio through wireless streaming, thanks to HEOS and Qobuz Connect.

If you’re not familiar Denon, Marantz, or HEOS, that’s understandable. There’s a wide variety of speakers, headphones, and home audio equipment out there, and a lot of it features connectivity through some of the more popular and mainstream technologies, like Apple AirPlay, Chromecast, and more.

A lot of it is also much less expensive than some of what’s offered by Denon and Marantz. The Marantz Horizon speaker, for example, is $3,500. So, the fact that both brands have products that feature support for HEOS and can deliver high-resolution sound for music wirelessly seems likely to fly under the radar for a large portion of consumers. That being said, if you like high-resolution music and you prefer to stream your tunes, then you should familiarize yourself with Denon, Marantz, HEOS, and Qobuz Connect.

Denon and Marantz devices with HEOS built-in are now fully compatible with Qobuz Connect

When it comes to streaming music, a majority of people are probably most familiar with services like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music. Those are the big three these days, though there are many other options out there. Pandora, Amazon Music, and several others. Not many of these services (if any) support high-resolution music, though. At least not to the degree that services like Qobuz Connect do. That’s why his announcement is exciting. Because it’s now possible to stream that high-quality audio from Qobuz Connect directly to Denon and Marantz devices. So long as they have HEOS built-in.

Qobuz allows listeners to stream both High-Res and lossless audio. Additionally, it allows users to download the music as well. In fact, Qobuz says it’s the only company to offer this – a service that allows users to both stream and download High-Res music. So, there’s yet another reason to consider it over other options.

Streaming to devices only takes a few taps

The process for streaming Qobuz music directly to a Denon or Marantz device is relatively simple and takes almost no time at all. All users have to do is open the Qobuz app, find their device, and hit stream. It’s that quick.

It’s essentially the same as hitting the Chromecast button or finding your devices in Spotify. Just a few steps and you’re listening to High-Res music wirelessly. While Marantz speakers tend to lean toward the expensive side, Denon has some options that can be found for under a few hundred dollars. So, it doesn’t have to be expensive to enjoy streaming Qobuz Connect wirelessly.
