Quobuz subscription


Hi I've recently joined Quobuz to try-out few tracks. 

The ones released on 70's and 80's Japanese jazz vinyls sound really muffled. Thought they would sound better vs. YouTube streaming channel of Terminal Passage that actually mostly plays its digitized vinyl collection, but quality is too far away from even YouTube.

I checked the quality and all of them are CD 44.1kHz, but the sound quality is so far away from CD 44.1kHz.

So what's there to check? Is only major-popular recording industry albums sound good there.

I checked that via my Mytek DAC and via my cheap DAC and both DACs show nearly-same differences on the playback vs. YouTube.

So far Tidal actually gets my best grading on items outside of RR hall of fame or outside of recording industry standards.

It really seems to me that Quobuz is over-advertised.

Qobuz is hands down better than Tidal.  There may be something off with your playback.  Maybe try deleting and reinstalling Qobuz.  You are using the Hi-Rez streaming?  Doesn't make sense.

Seems to me he is bagging on Qobuz and promoting Tidal.

I’m just saying -and I think most of the world agrees- Qobuz is superior to Tidal with few exceptions.
