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.

Ozzy.

Likely the same as myself, box them up and place in attic to gather dust!

Apart from my SACD and a few "special" cds and new CD bargain buys that is where my collection resides.

I access all my ripped CD direct over my network for now using mConnect on my Ayre EX8.

I MAY give Roon a trial but so far having a hard time believing $120 a year can be worthwhile.

I just tried to see if I can browse Quboz without signing in or taking a free trial and it does not look like you are able to.

But a 30 day free trial cannot hurt for sure.

Another vote for Quboz here vs Tidal
In my system it really was easy to hear the difference in hires Quboz vs Tidal MQA.

As far as Quboz settings, if you load the mobile app you can go right in and tell it what the max allowed replay is , it is in 4 steps in fact.

mp3
16/44
24/96
24/192

I had to do this on my mobile app before it worked correctly and streamed 24/192, the default is I believe 16/44.
