Free and open source (FOSS) Qobuz client for Linux with native, high-fidelity playback. QBZ-NIX goes beyond wrapper apps by using a purpose-built Rust playback engine that removes browser sample-rate limits, adds DAC passthrough, and delivers true hi-res audio.
# QBZ
## Why QBZ-NIX
QBZ is a free and open source (FOSS) Qobuz client for Linux with native, high-fidelity playback. It is a real desktop application, not a web wrapper, so it can use DAC passthrough, preserve hi-res sample rates end-to-end, and deliver bit-perfect audio.
Browsers cap audio output around 48 kHz, while Qobuz streams up to 192 kHz. QBZ-NIX uses a native playback pipeline so your system and DAC can receive the original resolution. This is a native client, not a wrapper, which enables features like DAC passthrough, real device control, caching, and media integration.
## Why QBZ
Browsers cap audio output around 48 kHz, while Qobuz streams up to 192 kHz. QBZ uses a native playback pipeline with direct device control so your system and DAC receive the original resolution, with caching and system integrations that wrappers cannot provide.
## Screenshots
Coming soon.

## Open Source
QBZ-NIX is MIT-licensed and fully open source. No telemetry, no lock-in, and no hidden services. Just a clean, transparent player built for Linux audio fans.

## Inspiration
QBZ-NIX draws inspiration from projects like qobuz-dl, and from the broader Linux audio community that values open tools and high-fidelity playback.
