We took a long car trip last weekend. The Qobuz app on my Android Phone did not work well. My wife likes Neal Diamond and we were attempting to play a greatest Hits collection but no matter what track I selected it would only play the same one—“Solitary Man” became “Solitary Song”. I finally made my first Amazon mp3 purchase in years to buy the album since I still have Amazon mp3 app.
Back at home I access Qobuz via a tab on Bluesound. I was searching for alternative recordings of Chopin Etudes than my long term favorite (Mauricio Pollini). Unsatisfied with a few others I went I chose Murray Perahia, whose recording I also have on FLAC in my NAS. I then played the same Perahia tracks that I had been listening to on Qobuz directly from my NAS with Bluesound and no question about it, Qobuz sounded veiled by comparison.
