I listen to mainly classical, so I find the selection and quality of Qobuz to be excellent. Every day there are new albums added.
Here's the downside of streaming, we don't choose which version of an album release is available by each service. This mainly applies to rock. The album release may be the original flat transfer or a remaster. It could be a remaster which improved the recording, or it could be a remaster with heavy compression made during the years of the Loudness Wars.
Many artists like the Stones or Zeppelin may have 3 or 4 different remasters, I know this because I was duped into buying the latest greatest CD version of these bands multiple times.
This is where physical media beats streaming, having the choice to hear an album of the highest SQ.
Full disclosure; I leave my system set up for streaming.
