It legit makes me so happy that you're enjoying it as much as I do! I too find it best for exactly what you posted above...even for titles I own on CD, a lot of them aren't in high-res, so it's nice to stream this way and dig into that little bit of extra umph that Qoboz/HR affords us.
Qobuz Connect has also helped me a ton with my guitar-playing in the basement (conversely, I stream Qobuz via a Bluesound Node, which I also love, in my upstairs living room system). It used to be such an arduous task of schlepping CDs off the shelf and in/out of their cases, but now I can pull them up fast for a couple of quick practice tunes whenever I want to.
I remember you mentioned the Blue Node a while back. I looked into it and was intrigued at first. I thought about getting one - or some kind of streamer - being that I thought I "lost" a lot of the streaming features from my prior processor. But that was before I got a hang of the Arcam 41 that replaced it, which I had just gotten at the time. When I started using Qobuz, then I understood why the display was so large. I now have to have this display so I stopped looking into streamers.
And funny you mention the guitar thing and being able to pull up a song on the fly, because I did exactly that yesterday with the same Beatles song in the pic and played along (In My Life, my all-time favorite from them). And sorry-not-sorry for the Arcam plug, but I just love this thing!

OK, this is starting to get a bit creepy, we're a lot alike! See, there ya go, you had a feature built-in that you never got around to using that just revealed itself, I love when that happens to me (and yes, it HAS happened to me a few times, so RTFM, kids)!

Yeah, that crossed my mind, too lol. Except I wish I had a basement! I do at least have my home office/mancave that serves as an "Office HT", but damn I'd love to have that extra/dedicated space with a basement HT, and somewhat away from the rest of the house.

When we moved five years ago, a basement room for all my A/V shit was a non-negotiable for me and luckily, my wife is a cool ass chick.

Well then now I gotta add something else we have in common . My wife is awesomely-cool, too, and has been largely supportive of the audio/HT thing throughout our marriage (going on 26 years now). She's an avid music listener, too, so she appreciates the gear. She also told me not too long ago that I spoiled her, and even she has to have the equipment on just to watch TV and can't stand the TV speakers.

Very cool and awesome for us! Yeah, when we first got together, my wife couldn't have given a frap about this kinda stuff, but I think I've slowly won her over on the audio side.
