Qobuz or Tidal?


Qobuz or Tidal? And why?

Aurender, good DAC, no MQA. US.

It seems (almost?) nobody here likes MQA. There is no requirement to use MQA with Tidal and I don’t but still get good sound. Many here list the positives of using Qobuz and if their selection of rock and blues matched Tidal’s, or if my preference were for classical, then I would be using them too.
Thank you @rajivhifi 
I will look into that. 
I can always use a steep discount, or a steep downhill, both are good!
Looked into the Best Buy savings.
Must be a My Best Buy member, which I already am.
Appears to be half off Tidal HiFi Music ($10/mo), but it appears the reduced price is only for the first year, so it might not be worth reestablishing a new Tidal account for only one year of savings.  Certainly sounds like it would be worth it for someone just starting out with Tidal.
Thank you @rajivhifi
I must be paying by the month since I don’t ever remember them asking for a renewal anytime over the past  several years.
I will look into it more closely.

"better to have both IMO"

I agree with @thieliste and play music using both of those services, plus my ripped/stored CD files (flac) through Mojo Audio's DejaVu streamer/server.  Roon controls whatever I play and I find the sound quality between the three sources mostly indistinguishable through my system during normal listening.
