Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate

I'm not convinced that I'm getting "CD Quality" from either service even though I've paid a premium for it.  In terms of the catalog, Tidal has Qobuz beat hands down.  Not even close IMO.  I like the user interface a little more with Tidal.  Similar artists populate right under the album listings.  However, Tidal is expensive when compared to Qobuz, if you're a long term subscriber. With Qobuz I received a considerable discount with a 1 year subscription.  I was paying $24 month (with taxes inc) for Tidal and that was a year ago. It's probably gone up from that. $300 a year buys a lot of CD's (especially when I usually buy mine used).  Has anyone else been as disillusioned as I am?

As Greg appears to have incurred the wrath of the God of Dropouts I should remain silent.... But....

Never ever had any issues with Qobuz.
I stream at home numerous ways dependent upon system used.
Hard wired to main rig.
Wireless tthough Chromecast units on second and third rigs.
I do have the fastest service at&t can provide in my area and my router/ modem is nearly new too.
Wireless through Moto z4 in the car.

Now fingers crossed.....

I was using both but settled on Qobuz simply for its superior SQ.
I found its hirez much better than MQA and you do not need a MQA capable DAC.

Sure there are gaping holes in it's catalog but there is still more music than I can ever dream of listening to in my lifetime.
No dropouts for me at home but I run wired connection not wireless.
