Qobuz Becomes Technology Partner of Audio Video Show: the independent French streaming platform has officially launched in Poland, becoming the exhibition’s new technology partner as Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026 opens its doors from 23 to 25 October. Qobuz puts artists first, offering listeners ad-free music and recommendations curated by editors and experts rather than relying solely on algorithms.
Qobuz Technology Partner: a record edition for Audio Video Show
This year’s Audio Video Show has broken its own record: across three venues and 196 rooms, 262 exhibitors representing nearly 700 brands are showcasing reference-grade audio systems, the latest televisions and projectors, home cinema solutions and an extensive range of headphones, making it the second-largest event of its kind in the world. Visitors can compare systems, try headphones, watch projector demonstrations and meet designers, musicians, producers and mastering specialists — all against the backdrop of the new Qobuz Technology Partner collaboration.
“I am delighted that Qobuz has become the exhibition’s new technology partner. It enjoys something of a cult following among Polish audiophiles, so this collaboration is a natural next step in our development,” says Adam Mokrzycki, founder and organiser of Audio Video Show. It is this shared commitment to attentive listening and the highest sound quality that forms the basis of the Qobuz Technology Partner partnership with Audio Video Show.
Qobuz Technology Partner: a boutique in a world of supermarkets
The newly launched Qobuz Technology Partner status builds on an independent French streaming service established in 2007, combining high-quality sound with editorial music discovery and respect for artists. With its launch in Poland, the platform is now available in 27 markets. Every subscription includes lossless listening, from CD quality to 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio, while Qobuz Connect lets users control compatible Hi-Fi equipment directly from the app.
“Poland is a natural market for Qobuz to expand into. It has a strong Hi-Fi culture, a growing music market and listeners who genuinely care about sound quality,” says Georges Fornay, Deputy CEO of Qobuz. The Polish catalogue includes recordings by Perfect, Daria Zawiałow, Taco Hemingway, Jakub Józef Orliński, Zbigniew Wodecki and Krzysztof Penderecki, alongside a Polish-language interface, at least 70 translated articles, 4,000 international playlists and 20 original playlists created specifically for Polish listeners.
The Qobuz Technology Partner news lands in the same week as a wave of other AVS Warsaw 2026 debuts bestofhighend.com is covering, including Ideon Audio’s world premiere of the Ayazi Max DAC, which also supports Qobuz Connect streaming.
