I live in the Caribbean and many streaming services are geo-restricted, so my choices were limited. I started with Deezer. I enjoyed it for a while. I liked how it integrated with Shazam. It was simple to identify music and have instant access to a decent resolution of a song and the ability to easily sample more of a given artist.
I eventually dropped Deezer for Qobuz because the former doesn’t integrate with Roon. I like music period and try not to get too caught up in genres, specific artists or resolution. Qobuz offers a fairly decent mix of everything. The Roon integration is awesome as it allows me to seamlessly blend my CD collection (ripped to 16/44 flac) with Qobuz’ offerings.
I have the "CD quality" subscription and have no complaints. I’m probably not the best source for SQ recommendations though, as I’m a techie and did some human biology studies, so I know there ain’t no magic. I’m just grateful that my 53 year old ears still allow me to enjoy music, sweet music.
@three_easy_payments: I hear ya on the family plan wish for Qobuz. I would jump on that in a heartbeat. I have 6 kids and I’m tickled pink at how much my 3 year old already appreciates music.
