Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service?


Hi and thanks for reading!

Has anybody tried Qobuz and compared it to TIDAL? I read that Qobuz streams 24/196 files which may be higher than even TIDAL Master quality?? If you have made the switch to Qobuz, was it easy to integrate into your streaming system?

I look forward to hearing from people who have tried Qobuz and either loved it or disliked it compared to TIDAL.

I've been using Qobuz for a few weeks, and I have found it much better than Tidal for classical and similar for Jazz.  There are some annoying titles/labels that appear on one or not the other.  Random example: Joey Alexander is on Tidal, but not Qobuz (are other Motema titles on Qobuz?).  Qobuz does a better job of giving you lists and suggestions, at least for Classical and Jazz.

I'm probably overconfident in my ability to distinguish them, but I think I like hi-res over MQA.  Certainly it gives you more streaming and equipment options.

I use BubbleUpnP as my control point, which integrates both services and my music server (Minimserver) and will even search them together, so you can find your piece wherever it lurks.  Neither has J. Wagenaar's overture to Cyrano de Bergerac, which I'm going to hear tomorrow night at Geffen Hall, along with a couple of warhorses.
