best hi res streaming service for jazz?

I listen to mainly jazz myself and prefer Qobuz catalog and sound quality...it’s better than Tidal as well IMO.

There's a free trial so just see what you think.  Tidal has a free trial as well.

I started out with Spotify ... first free then paid. Later took trials of Tidal and Amazon HD simultaneously. At that time, Amazon HD (not to be confused with "basic" Amazon Music) offered a full 90-day trial. Not sure if that's standard or because of my Prime membership.

At any rate, based on the availability of truly hi-res recordings, and extensive jazz library, for me it's Amazon HD hands down. I found tracks there that I couldn't find anywhere else. Name an artist, and they got it. Again, that's been my experience. Cost is $12.99/month.

So I'd suggest getting the trials set up, switch back and forth, cancel subscription(s) on what you let go before auto-pay kicks in; and you're good to go! All the best.

Happy Listening,

Stratman, I have used Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify. Now I only use Qobuz and I prefer its jazz catalogue and sound quality over the other two. BTW, Jazz is my favorite musical idiom but not a fan of "free jazz"

Thanks guys!  I think I'm gonna try a Qobuz trial and see what they have on offer.  Strateahed, AmazonHD sounds good but I don't think my ultraRendu supports it.

@tubersist I'm also not a fan of free jazz.  I prefer to pay for it :)

Not a service per se, but the newly created jazzcast.ca online radio is pretty modern sounding.

Re Amazon. Will the full cd quality come through using my Samsung Note10+ cellphone as receiver? And then I need to get it to my OPPO 205 to play in my stereo? (I think my handle here should be  'dinosoah'.)
