Qobuz works great with the B-Fi for lossless CD quality streaming! Once you get your B-Fi setup on your network using the Audioengine app, you will be able to send your Qobuz music to the B-Fi through the Qobuz app on your MacBook Pro, the Qobuz app on your devices, or directly through the Audioengine Control app! Qobuz and other lossless capable streaming services are played back at CD quality, with no compression.

If you have grouped the speakers for a multi-room setup in the Audioengine app, only the B-Fi that you grouped the speakers into will show as the available destination. If you wish to send to your other speakers independently, ungroup the B-Fi in the app by pressing and holding on the speaker in the grouping and dragging down and away from the group.

Press and hold the status button on the front panel until the LED begins flashing (about 4 seconds), and you hear a voice prompt letting you know that the B-Fi has entered setup mode. If you don't hear the voice prompt, double check your audio systems volume, and that the B-Fi is connected to an active input.

Open the Audioengine Control app on your smartphone or tablet, and follow the instructions to complete setup. If you have other B-Fi units that are already configured, you will need to press the + in the top right corner of the screen to continue setup.

Yes.

Yes. You must be connected to your network for your music to play.

Try playing music directly on your phone, tablet or from your local library using the same network to check your internet connection.  

If your internet connection is OK:

• Check the connections between B-Fi and your stereo system.
• Use the Audioengine Control app to test signal strength.
• Restart your source music device and power cycle your B-Fi and stereo.

One of the great benefits to the B-Fi is that you’re no longer stuck using one product app. Any music player will work for iOS and MacOS via Airplay, as well as DLNA or UPnP streaming options for Android and Windows.

We considered Airplay 2, and will continue to keep an eye on it for future products or updates. At present though, the B-Fi includes support for only Airplay.

While Airplay 2 allows grouping of Airplay 2 devices in the Apple Home app, to allow streaming audio to multiple rooms at once, we've already built out advanced multi-room grouping features through the Audioengine Connect App. And in our implementation, these features extend not only to Airplay on iOS and MacOS, but can even be used for non-Apple devices which don't support Airplay or Airplay 2.

The B-Fi is a 2.4GHz device but most networks are dual-band, so select 2.4GHz during B-Fi setup.

Any Audioengine powered speaker systems that have line-level (RCA or 3.5mm) input connection or digital optical input will work with B-Fi.

Yes, anybody connected to the same network.

Yes. You can play music from your library, a mobile device storage device, and portable hard disks and NAS.

The B-Fi supports lossless playback of CD quality audio, with zero compression. While you can play higher than CD quality audio to the B-Fi through DLNA, UPnP, or high res streaming apps like TIDAL and Qobuz, all audio is transmitted at 16-bit 44.1kHz.
