Qobuz/Tidal Differences

For those who have both, can you point me in the direction of some tracks that, in your opinion, shows the differences in the sound quality between the two streaming services?

I read constantly of folks who point out one is better than the other but IMO I think they both sound pretty similar.  So I kind of want to test my hearing.  

Please help.

Thanks.

I've had both services simultaneously and noticed two differences:

  1. Catalog
  2. Sonic differences

Overall I found more music I like listening to on Tidal.  I did notice Quboz had a plethora of versions of some songs (high def if you will, remasters, live, etc.).

I felt there was some harshness impacting high frequencies on some of the music I listened to on Quboz - could have been the specific recordings.

I have Tidal at a discount as part of my Plex subscription so I chose to go with Tidal.

Catalog drove my decision.
