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 slightly prefer the sound of Qobuz 24 bit PCM ("Native Quality Audio") to Tidal MQA. TBF, my DAC is not MQA'd, so I only get the first unfold with Roon. But why would I ever buy new hardware to play MQA files when I can play an original hi-res file not needing folding and unfolding?
For now, I am keeping Tidal because there are about 30 albums in my library on Tidal but not Qobuz. I could just buy those albums but that amount of money will also pay for about 2 years of Tidal. If Qobuz adds most of those albums I will cancel Tidal.
