Qobuz Connect

[catcando]

Hi
I have a Zenith SE with Sense 2.6.4 and a Qobuz account and signed in.
I cannot see the Zenith as a choice when opening Qobuz on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S24), nor could a visitor on his phone.
It sees my phone and an Eversolo DMP A8, not connected for audio.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks

The ZENith SE is not able to run Qobuz Connect because it does not support the newer Sense 3 platform. Qobuz must be used with integration within Sense app.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

How long is support for Sense 3 likely to be? Looking at something that runs Sense 3, but will have some life left in it.
Will a 2022 Zenith Mk3 have 5 years of support left for the improving Sense?

We anticipate the Mk3s being supported with Sense for a good while yet, though I honestly don't know if it will be 5 years or more. I suspect it won't be far off that; the MkIIs had 8 years of support and I anticipate the Mk3s to be supported for longer.
Keep in mind that all ZENith Mk3s were made to the same spec regardless of year of production (which began at the very end of 2018), so a 2022 version will not have longer software support than a 2020 version, for example. They would be equal in that regard.
We already have the next few software updates mapped out, so the ZENith Mk3 you are considering would receive these.
If you want to ensure very long-term remaining software support, then you could consider one of the new STREAM series - we are running a trade-in campaign for that at the moment for which your ZENith SE would get you 20% off a new STREAM3 which would be a substantial upgrade.

Thank you.
The reason I used that date, is there are two dates for the Zenith Mk3.
2018-2022 and 2023-2025.
I chose the older one because they are more affordable and older, so wanted to insure a reasonable lifespan.
