How to Stream Qobuz on Roku [3 Available Ways]

Part 1. Can I Stream Qobuz on Roku?

Roku, being one of the most popular streaming platforms for TV, doesn't natively support Qobuz with a dedicated app. This lack of an official Qobuz app leaves many Roku users wondering if it's still possible to enjoy their Qobuz library on a Roku device. The good news is that while Qobuz isn't directly available through Roku, there are several methods available for streaming Qobuz music through your Roku device.

In the next sections, we'll discuss the most effective ways to stream Qobuz on Roku, including screen mirroring, casting, and even offline playback via USB drives.

Part 2. How to Stream Qobuz on Roku via Airplaying/Casting

If you have a compatible device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer, that supports AirPlay or casting, you can stream Qobuz on Roku by using one of these wireless technologies.

2.1 Stream Qobuz on Roku via Airplaying

AirPlay is a wireless streaming technology developed by Apple, and it allows you to stream audio, video, or screen content from an Apple device to a compatible receiver, such as Roku. With AirPlay, you can stream your Qobuz music directly to your Roku TV.

1. Ensure your Roku device supports AirPlay. Most recent Roku devices (Roku 9.4 and above) support this feature.
2. Press the Home button on your Roku remote, then go to Settings > Apple AirPlay and HomeKit and enable AirPlay.





3. Make sure both your Roku and Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
4. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Qobuz app and select the music you wish to stream.
5. Swipe down from the top-right corner to access the Control Center, and tap the AirPlay icon.



6. From the list of available devices, select your Roku device to start streaming the audio.
7. Once connected, your Qobuz music will stream to your Roku-connected TV or audio system. You can control playback directly from your device.

Using AirPlay to stream Qobuz is a quick and straightforward method for Apple users, ensuring high-quality sound is delivered directly to your Roku device.

2.2 Stream Qobuz on Roku via Casting

If you're using an Android device or a Windows PC, you can stream Qobuz to Roku using casting features such as Google Cast. Many Roku devices support Google Cast, making it a versatile way to stream music from various devices.

1. Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi. On your Roku device, go to Settings > Screen Mirroring > Screen Mode and set it to Prompt or Always Allow.



2. Open the Settings app on your phone and scroll down to select Connection & sharing or Connected Devices (the option may vary based on your device and version).
3. Tap on the Screencast option, then on the next page, click Search for display devices to locate your Roku device.
4. When your Roku device's name appears, select it. You can now play music from the Qobuz app on your phone to listen on your Roku device.

Casting works for a wider range of devices compared to AirPlay and is an excellent option for Android users or those who prefer using a PC for streaming.
