I have been trying through Quad to resolve this issue and when reading blogs etc others are having the same problem and it seems to lie with the Play-fi app. They have replied to my questions via Quad but have not come up with anything that has worked as yet. I wonder if Audirvana might take this up with Play-fi as it is something that needs working on and until resolved it is preventing us from buying into Audirvana. The following is an interesting observation made on a facebook Quad group:-
" I am using the PlayFi app with my Audiolab 6000N networkplayer. As a reviewer I have the possibility to compare PlayFi with over Programs. Using the App with a NAS with 2TB musical content is a disaster because there is no search possibility. Besides that in comparison with Apps like Volumio, JRiver and Audirvana is very big. PlayFi is very slow, not gapless and is soaking the battery of my IPad because PlayFi is not streaming but casting…I am waiting for a new update (>6.0) so I can use the Audiolab in a normal streaming DNLA/UPnP enviroment without bugs and drop-outs ."
I sent this to Quad who passed it onto Play-fi and this is their response:
“We do have an option with Qobuz to do just that though, and that’s in the Transfer function and it may help this customer. If he starts playback, all he needs to do is tap the Transfer button on the album art of the Now Playing screen, and this will shift the stream onto the product.”
