Yes, the iPhone plays 'Hi-Res' Qobuz - pics

I had all Qobuz settings on the iPhone set to CD quality for several reasons* but just for grins I set it to 24/192 KHz and sure enough, that's what it plays.... but read the notes below. You need an outboard DAC.

Why I choose Qobuz CD Quality vs 'Hi-Res' on my phone:

- CD quality is more than sufficient for me over headphones during air travel or in the car as those are not my main listening modes. I stream 'hi-res' to a network streamer and quality DAC in my main system at home.

- Hi-res streaming consumes lot of bandwidth from my cellular data plan, and offline downloads to the phone take up a lot of space.

Again, I listen at CD quality on the iPhone when I'm not at home. Heck, a lot of my listening is at CD quality anyway even on the main home system.

IMHO, a small insect DAC on a phone playing hi-res will not out perform a quality DAC in a home based system playing at CD quality. I would not use a phone -or- tablet as my main music source in a home based system. There are much better choices for that.
