Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service?

Disaster,
First off, when I downloaded the desktop app it would freeze, I would have to go into my task manager to close it, never was able to play even one track. Then I just used the Web player which worked fine, but all the files played back at just 44.1/16, even when they were supposed to be high-res files! So then I loaded the App on my iPad, this time the music would skip as if it had to buffer more of the track to play, the thing is my internet service for download is 250mbps, way more than I should need and my Steamer (Cambridge AZURE 850N) is connected directly to my Gateway with a CAT7 cable, I have no issues streaming High Res TIDAL or Spotify, regardless of what device I am using. Lastly, I really do like Qobuz, the selection of music is more to my liking compared to TIDAL, but right now it's way to "buggy" for me. So for now I tip my hat to TIDAL and will revisit Qobuz maybe in another 6 months??

Hi,

Can anyone help/explain to me why when I'm playing the Qobuz application through my web browser, my Streamer reports 16/44.1 regardless of what high-res file I choose? Any and all high-res files I have tried do not report what they claim they should be?? When playing TIDAL through my Desktop App, anything that is a high-res file reports correctly. I am unable to use the Qobuz Desktop App because it is unresponsive and just freezes up.

Thank you!

Update:
A few weeks ago I discovered Qobuz was having a promotion to subscribe to their "Studio" offering for $15 a month, so I took advantage of this deal and downloaded their latest desktop app and now everything is working great, no issues! After a week went by, comparing Qobuz to Tidal, I dropped Tidal in favor of Qobuz. My Streamer/DAC does not support MQA and I also preferred the music Qobuz was suggesting compared to Tidal, I also IMHO prefer the SQ of Qobuz probably because my DAC does not support MQA, however the difference is subtle.
