Infuriated by MQA two years ago, I switched to Qobuz from Tidal and never looked back. Agree that Apple sounds better than it's given credit for, and anyhow my old iTunes/Apple Music playlist can never be replicated. But that plays only on my backup system. Some rainy day (or pixie dust day, which seems no less likely) I'll get around to loading that playlist into Aurender for comparison with Qobuz and good streaming radio sources.
STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
I am 100% digital using Roon. I play from my extensive hard drive, Qobuz and Tidal. I love to find new music using Roon Radio or Roon suggestions. Here is my issue: I generally find Qobuz to sound better on my system. I do not have final unfold of MQA on my Tambaqui DAC; yet ROON always defaults to a Tidal version.
So I will search 'versions' and select the highest resolution of a Qobuz version.
Can Roon be set to default to Qobuz vs defaulting to a Tidal version?
Do others agree that Qobuz sounds better?
