Qobuz vs Airplay

AirPlay is a notch above Bluetooth and a notch below CD.  Chromecast is better but difficult to use with Apple Music (you need to have the Apple Music on an Android Device).

Qobuz does have a trial subscription give it a spin. IMHO Apple Music stinks. 

Qobuz is much better than Apple Music. It is about time that Apple really put something together both of the hardware side as well as streaming to give us a true HiRes listening experience. I am a solid Apple user by the way and I say this as a request to Apple more than anything else. Qobuz rocks.

Wow. I’m really glad to hear you are having better results with Airplay. I sure am not. My ecosystem is now all Apple M4 Studio, Macbook, iPads, HomePod, etc.  and phones. I try and use it often… and it remains unreliable and Qobuz consistently sounds much better. 
 

OP, ‘Also, once you have access to truly high fidelity streaming audio… most folks start exploring and get lost in the millions of albums that are available and over half a million in high resolution on Qobuz.

@mahler123, look at your Apple iPhone or iPad, whichever one you're using for comparisons. Under settings, there are 3-4 levels of sound quality.. You will see the quality and various data transmission methods - cellular, 5G, WiFi, and hardwired to DAC. Hi-Res Lossless 24-bit/192kHz is not by default. When you did your comparisons, what were your settings?  If you used defaults, you're not alone, including me, in simply turning on the phone and starting to play without checking its settings. 

You can not use AirPlay with Hi-Res files. Apple Music requires a couple of extra steps to access Hi-Res. 

As stated earlier,  I use Qubuz and Tidal for my systems.
