QBZ is a native Linux desktop client for Qobuz™, designed for high-fidelity playback.
Unlike browser-based players or web wrappers, QBZ uses a native audio pipeline with direct ALSA and PipeWire integration, allowing bit-perfect playback, exclusive device access, and proper per-track sample-rate switching for external DACs.
Browsers are limited by system mixers and WebAudio, often resampling audio to 48 kHz. QBZ bypasses these limitations to deliver true high-resolution audio up to 24-bit / 192 kHz on Linux.
Features:
QBZ is built for Linux users and audiophiles who care about how audio actually reaches their hardware.
Legal: QBZ uses the Qobuz™ API but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by Qobuz.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install QBZ — Native Qobuz Client for Linux, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install qbz-player
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
