Kal - you're a genius! ;-)
HOWEVER, I've tried excerpts from four albums so far:
- The CPE Bach Cello Concertos with Ophelie Gaillard (5.1)
- The Brahms Cello Sonatas, also with Ophelie Gaillard (5.1)
- The Ravel album with Vanessa Wagner (5.1)
- The Liszt Transcendental Etudes with Daniel Wayenberg (5.0)
All of the 5.1 albums seem to send the center channel stream to the subwoofer, with the center channel itself remaining silent - at least on my system. The Liszt Etudes album in 5.0 seems to play properly though all five channels (excluding the subwoofer of course).
So, even aside from the misrouted channels on the 5.1 albums (once again, at least on my set-up), this is a very exciting development indeed! The only other comment I'd make is that the selection of MCh-capable albums seems to be limited at this point - nothing from Chandos, BIS, Audite, and the other usual MCh suspects. ;-)
Anyway, thanks again for the helpful hint as to how to get MCh going via Qobuz!
