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.

I had both and now down to just Qobuz via Roon.
I Probably could have lived with just Tidal though as for myself the catalog difference for my choice of rock and blues was not a deciding factor.

I do not have a MQA dac so I opted for Qobuz for now and quite happy at $14.99 a month.
A lot of hires titles to choose from.
If the small cost is not an issue I would follow David’s advice and run both concurrently and make your own decision.

Good luck with your new house and systems.
Stay safe.
