Actually the specs of Volumio at first sounded pretty good. Espescially the possibility to use a Qobuz plugin.
But the obligation to create an account and the necessity of a subscription led me to look further. I hate subscription plans, because you f***ed if the provider has authentification server problems, or there are DNS issues. I had that with adobe and ditched Lightroom because of this.
I already pay for using Qobuz and that's okay. But at least 60€ extra per year in addition to that, just to play Qobuz, is way to much. I would have probably paid 50 bucks for a one-time purchase of the plugin. But now, using BubbleUPnP, works brilliantly for me.
Now I run moOde Audio in combination with an open home BubbleUPnP-server on my streamers, and I'm very happy with it. This way, I don't need an account and I don't need to pay for it monthly. I'm happy to make a donation for it, though.
If I'd be in the market for a serious streaming solution, it would be probably Audirvana or Roon.
