New Qobuz User Comments

Thanks for the conversation. I am about to upgrade my system with a streamer and was curious about Quboz. Looks like a popular company amongaudiophiles

I have both Qobuz and Tidal. Qobuz is what I use at home. Tidal is probably getting dropped soon. My issue with Qobuz is there isn't enough Hi Res albums with the groups I listen to most. Most of my music is rock and some heavy rock. I also wished we had the option to have it automatically play the highest res file of a song available. This would make my playlist that much better. I'm to lazy to go through and do this manually. As for me I use a computer right now to play over my system and have to use a program called Jump to control it from my Lazyboy. Was considering a streamer but I'm not sure the quality of sound will be that much better and then of course which one to buy. 

I had Qobuz and Tidal.  I dropped Qobuz because Tidal has a better selection of music that I like (old school R&B and Jazz).  Tidal also has a military discount and Qobuz doesn't.  I like MQA and Qobuz Hi Res doesn't sound any better to my ears.

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.
