Qobuz Trial


I'm a longtime Apple Music subscriber but, on a whim, decided to try out Qobuz to see what all the fuss is about.  For digital, I do my listening primarily through my Macbook pro and iPhone, in either case run through my JDS Labs Element II to Senn HD-660 S.  I queued up Art Blakey's Moanin' on both platforms, listening first to Apple Music, then to Qobuz, then back to Apple Music.  It's always that last step where I feel the differences come out.  And boy did they.  When I went back to Apple music on the third listen, I almost ripped off my cans in shock.  It was so jarring.  I had my wife do some blind listening and she consistently chose Qobuz, describing it as rounder and flatter.  So now I'll have two streaming services, though I swore I'd never be that guy.  

Apple music is vastly superior, especially on mobile, for library management and navigation, as well as discovery.  I do hope Qobuz works on that.
