In my opinion, Qobuz sounds cleaner and more refined to my ears. While both streaming services don't quite match up to a locally stored file on a correctly copied hard drive, Qobuz stands out for its superior high-resolution files. On the other hand, Tidal tends to feel more confined and less expansive. Depending on the album, I perceive Tidal to be somewhat rougher and less smooth overall, whereas Qobuz offers a clearer and slightly better clarity.
