Qobuz vs Tidal


First off in the last 3 weeks, I have lost 90% of my vision so if there are mistakes please understand.  I am building my last house and will be moving in in late August.  I have ordered a fantastic two channel system, and I have a separate theater room.   The 2 channel system consists of Canary Audio Grand Reference Two Mono Amps, Canary C1800 Pre-amp, Lumin X1 Dac/Streamer, and an Inakustic 3500P power conditioner and Viking Accoustic Grande Voix horn speakers.  My theater room will include a 5.2.2 set up of Tekton Double impact in wall speakers.   My music source is a Lumin X-1 with a 4tb Synology NAS filled with over 10,000 titles.  In my last system I used Tidal to complement my digital library.  I am looking for either Qobuz or Tidal  for my new system.  I am looking for people who have both or have used both.  Which do you prefer and why?   If you have only used one please don't reply.  I need your help as I can no longer research the way I would like.  All your replies will be voice activated so that is how I am getting your information.  Ease of use will be critical due to my sight restrictions.  Thanks for your help.

Folks,Question - what is the best option control Qobuz or Tidal running on a desktop using a phone/tablet. I use Foobar2000 to play FLAC/DSD files on the laptop and use the Oppo 205 as DAC. The Qobuz app on the laptop cannot be controlled by the tablet Qobuz app. Spotify app on laptop can be controlled using the Spotify app on phone/tablet. Love the Qobuz quality over Spotify - but it is inconvenient to get up after each album or change playlist and go to the rack and select a different one.USB audio through the Oppo is miles ahead of using a CD on the Oppo or streaming using Chromecast audio, IMHO.
