Qobuz Special Offer

Any reason to have both Tidal and Qobuz? I have Tidal and do not want to mess up anything to switch to Qobuz. Having both is do able at $12.49 monthly but is there a good reason to do that.

Signed up for Qobuz now and already have Tidal. My Roon went into a little shock at first but seems to have settled down and cached or indexed the Qobuz data. 

I was looking for the remaster of the Beatles White Album but not to be seen in either service.

I will give it a year to see who survives on my system, Tidal, Qobuz or both.

@big_greg Thanks for the post. When I did a search for THE BEATLES or THE WHITE ALBUM I only got results for the non-super deluxe version. I also had a ripped CD version in my library.

After I searched for ESHER DEMOS I found some tracks and then a search for THE WHITE ALBUM returned the SUPER DELUXE. A ROON bug for sure.

I hope I have some time to do some head to head comparisons with Tidal and Qobuz. I think the first disc will be

Lux Prima by Karen O and Danger Mouse.

I heard the high-res version on Qobuz today and the sound seemed almost like a good SACD. It will be interesting to test this one out since I don’t recall it sound this nice on Tidal. Though the MQA unfolding thing and ROON is somewhat confusing when my DAC does not natively support MQA.

@tomcy6 Prior to searching for ESHER DEMOS which I am now sure cleared some ROON bug (likely a ROON software index automagically got rebuilt). I did search for the White Album and did select SHOW ALL. No luck finding all the White Album instances.

BTW - The White Album Super Deluxe is incredible. Almost like hearing it for the first time. I did not like the recent remaster of Abbey Road (too much bass) but loved Sgt Pepper Super Deluxe. Wasn’t it the meatball who said 2 of 3 ain’t bad.
