Sense 3.3 Beta Testing

I believe this is expected behaviour as radio stations generally have far fewer functions/options available to them compared to a regular song. For example repeat / shuffle / add to playlist / previous track do not apply, so the remaining functions (volume, output choice, favourite) can be kept on main dash or on Now Playing screen.
Noted, but the problem with this is that there is no indication whatsoever that this is where you can access volume and output choice. When you know this, it is ok, but it is confusing to less experienced users and can be seen as a lack of consistency.

I am not able to restore the original Digital Audio output. Restarted the Server, restarted the Phantoms, Arch changed settings. Tested a USB DAC (which would connect), but the RCA output to Arch could not be reactivated.
It may be worth sending a copy of the system logs to our support if something, for some reason, is causing the system to no longer detect its output card in relation to use with Qobuz Connect. I have a ZENmini Mk3 also and been testing Qobuz Connect but i do not seem to have lost access to the output card.

Cool! It appears that Qobuz Connect has been activated with the release of version 9.0 (or is this still Beta?). I tested it on my system, and it seems to be working fine. I have two questions related to its implementation.

1. What resolution and bit depth will be used when streaming? In other words, which setting will be used. Is it the setting in the Qobuz app or the one in Sense?

2. How is volume control implemented? There’s a slider in the Qobuz app, but there’s no one in Sense anymore. Is bit perfect volume independent or does it have to be set to 100% in the Qobuz app? If so, it appears that the volume is louder when using 100% compared to other sources in Sense. I did not measure it though.
Volume control for Qobuz Connect must be done via the Qobuz app. If you keep it at 100 it remains bitperfect. There should be no differences to resolution between Qobuz Connect or just within the Sense integration as its pulling from the same library ultimately. The default behaviour of the Qobuz app would normally to be go for the highest resolution possible, I believe.
