Has anyone noticed Qobuz sounding a little fatter in the right channel?

Just to be certain, I swapped tubes in DAC. Swapped tubes in Amp. Swapped RCA’s. Brought down the little Schiit DAC from upstairs and same thing. A/B spinning albums with Technics, Herron, and Hana. The digital seems to be a little more weighted on the right channel or lean in the left channel. The album image is dead center solid perfect. Couple tracks, Paul Simon Graceland - You Can Call me Al. The new Cat Power Covers - Bad Religion. Am I tripping Audiogon?

Sounds like a DAC problem. Try Pink and Inharmonic Noise into whatever meter/leds you got.

Probably impossible to find a tech that can balance it.  I sent my second R2R (Panasonic) to the factory service for that in the 60's. A month later came back just like it went in.

My Qobuz is dead centered.

No joke here.  Get your ear checked for wax build up.  That happened to me about 2 months ago and now fixed! Some folks are wax builders ☹️
