@jeffseight Why is it we have to provide scientific evidence to support our opinions but you do not? Where’s your scientific evidence to support Apple and Spotify sound better than Qobuz, cause I ain’t never seen anyone else on this site say that and there are plenty who’ve heard all of them and all that I recall prefer Qobuz. Perhaps you should bring your statements to ASR as they seem more up your alley.
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?

@larry5729 you are correct that Qobuz doesn’t offer MQA, but most people feel that’s a plus for Qobuz as MQA requires multiple unfolding and, as I understand it, MQA alters the original content to what some sound engineers think it “should” sound like. No thanks. Throw in that most people here prefer Qobuz’s sound quality, offers a ton more hi-res tracks, is cheaper (or at least it was when I subscribed), and to me has a better user interface. You can try it for free so why not? I did and never went back to Tidal and their silly MQA total sham. Just my experience FWIW. |
