Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions


I received an email with a welcome to the US launch of Qobuz yesterday. Has anyone here had experience with the service? How does it compare to Tidal, Pandora, etc? Any suggestions as to which subscription plan is better than another? Any insight is appreciated

I had a chance last week, in a friend's system, to listen to Qobuz (Studio Plan) and Tidal (via Aurender)

I declined to be a beta tester and am holding off on a trial as well, though I will be signing up for Qobuz in the future. I also wasn't focused on sound performance differences, between the two services.

When I tried to pull up albums I'm familiar with (on Tidal) they were not available on Qobuz, as of last Tuesday. 

This was a small sample. The lack of availability did surprise me. 
@lowrider57 A minor difference (or asterix) which might be of value to those unsure of their level of commitment, since the Qobuz service is new and new to them:

the Studio Plan allows for a monthly option (in addition to the discounted yearly option), whereas the Sublime Plan is yearly only. [As of now]

The upside of going monthly, is to have more time than the free trial allows for evaluation and an easier out (and smaller financial 'hit') since your cancellation ends the subscription at the end of the ’month’ vs the end of the ’year.’
