Well, I am quite handsome. :)
Judging from our posts above, I probably submitted mine on the 18th.
I think some of it has to do with location - maybe they even have a way of verifying your connection speed. So I wouldn't worry if you didn't see yours yet. Honestly, I'm just as surprised as you guys are.
On an update note - Qobuz implementation in Roon is fine. I went to settings, plugged in my new account info, and quick as a blink it verified and connected. I didn't really see a huge amount of albums, but I didn't spend a lot of time deep diving, I was just clicking around.
In Roon, if you bring up an album, you can click the "Versions" tab, and it will show you what versions of that album you have available. In the case of one of my well worn demo albums, Alt+J's An Awesome Wave, it showed I had two different high rez versions in my library, a Tidal version, and a Qobuz version.
I tried to quickly switch between all the version available, and even mixed myself up as to what version I was listening to. Even on my system, on this well worn album they were so friggen similar, that none stood out as "better". But on a gut feeling level, I *felt* like there was a slight difference, but it was such splitting hairs that I couldn't pin down what that difference was.
I got bored with that and started playing with the Digital Radio feature they recently added to Roon, and ran into a different frustration of finding streaming radio station links, and stations I even liked! Though Roon's implementation was simple and worked just fine for my needs. I have to say, Roon is really becoming my Go To software and it's really feeling like it's worth the (to me) rather high yearly fees.
I'll give my Qubuz, Tidal, Library testing another chance this weekend when I don't need to be up for work at 5am and I can stay up and listen to the wee hours.
Also, keep in mind, because I'm using Roon - the software could somehow be homogenizing the various streams and sources, which is why everything sounds the same to me. A real test would be if I pitted Roon using my Library, Tidal using it's native App, and Qobuz using it's native App. I may do that as well this weekend, assuming I have time and inclination. I'm curious how their implementations of their own app differs from just using Roon.
