LMAO thanks mahler123 so I obviously let despair get the best of me! :p But there is a good outcome I read the comments above by you and gdnrbob2 and decided to email Quobuz CS. I got a response in under 24 hours they fixed my account and I am signed up as a beta user! Relative to experiences with Tidal CS this was first class service, now what should I listen to first!?
Ok so far through three albums on Quobuz and loving it! I think the sound quality is a bit better than Tidal and certainly at least as good. Jazz selections seem excellent thus far as well.
Bob I gave up Spotify years ago due to the poor sound quality and have used Tidal ever since. Now I need to decide if I need both Tidal and Quobuz. I like them both at least I have a free month to figure it out.
Bob don't pay attention to the 44K with Tidal the difference is in the kbps reading. 44K is redbook CD standard the difference it Tidal is Flac and Spotify is MP3 with never get above 320kbps. And as far as Quobuz I am sticking with Hifi as I am 16/44.1 all the way no hi-rez for me. And so far enjoying both classical and jazz on Quobuz.
David that's great I haven't messed around with the app really yet, using the Lightning DS app at home but looking forward to checking it out and exploring more. I haven't decided to cut Tidal yet but I may down the road we shall see.
beetlemania I just clicked on a random album in the Quobuz store Mini Mansions.....A Guy Walks Into a Bar and the CD version $12.99 hi-rez $14.99 but hi-rez with the sublime streaming package $7.49. Quite a nice savings! The Sublime Tier is $299.99 per year. It's basically the same monthly rate at the Studio tier $24.99/month but you pay upfront.
ozzy thats good to hear. I am enjoying Qobuz and Tidal both, though Tidal has a deeper category, particularly in jazz, I still find things on Qobuz that aren't on Tidal. I think I will be keeping them both and what a world we live in with all this music at our fingertips!
