I've tried trial versions of Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music and lastly Quobuz. I've decided that buying actual discs or downloading PCM and/or DSD is better for me than using a streaming service. Especially given that I'm mostly interested in audiophile reissues like MOFI, Analogue Productions, etc...which streaming services do not include in their libraries.
I admittedly like the idea of using a streaming service like Quobuz but personally don't find that the technology is where it needs to be (for me). I had several issues concerning instability and I noticed a difference in sound quality. For passive listening on something like a soundbar, it's fine.
