Qobuz Coming to America Soon!
Thanks. I am anxiously looking forward for Qobuz to be released in the USA but have no info when. Qobuz will be shown at the RMAF but its USA release date has not been announced. Their 24 bit album option looks interesting priced at $249 per year, about $21 per month. Does anyone have info when Qobuz will be available in the USA? |
@usery, Yes. I saw the above post but noticed the press release below states “the official Qobuz release is in October. I guess the answer is between October and the end of the year. “NEW YORK, July 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Qobuz (pronounced CO-buz), a Paris-based online music streaming and download service for music lovers, has been named the Official High-Resolution Streaming Service for the upcoming 15thAnnual Rocky Mountain International Audio Fest (RMAF), the largest high-end consumer audio show in North America. With the company making its official American launch in October”. |
As noted above, Qobuz will be at RMAF in October and almost all of the manufacturers will be using it. This is exciting and a great opportunity for Qobuz to announce its streaming features, capabilities, pricing options and launch date (I hope). My Aurender already works with Qobuz so i will create an account and log in. I wonder how its catalog compares to Tidal Streaming. I am anxious to hear the Qobuz 24 bit streaming option. |

Qobuz (pronounced CO-buz), a Paris-based online music streaming and download service for music lovers, has been named the Official High-Resolution Streaming Service for the upcoming 15th Annual Rocky Mountain International Audio Fest (RMAF). Does anyone attending the RMAF have any comments regarding Qobuz? How good is their sound quality (24-bit albums)? How extensive is their catalog? When will it be officially released in the USA (Launch date)? What are its streaming costs and options? Will Qobuz offer a free trial period? How does Qobuz compare to Tidal in terms of sound quality and catalog size? Do I need both Tidal and Qobuz streaming services or is one enough? Any comments and thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.. |
