Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed"

Did you bother to level match them ? Qobuz is often not as loud as Tidal…..

op 

what level of qobuz vs tidal did you use?  were you listening to redbook resolution or higher, on one or both services?

did you listen to other tracks, other music?  for popular music, both services have highly overlapping libraries

i think both services sound very good, though subtly different... i would say i prefer qobuz hi-res ever so slightly over tidal masters

Basing an audio decision based on the assessment, determination, and conclusion of hearing just just one, single, solitary track is not very wise you should expand your horizons they may have even been mastered differently.

Man there are some seriously condescending snobs on this blog. I listened to both Tidal & Qobuz for a month, at their highest resolutions. Contrary to your knee jerk assumptions, I based my opinion on more than one track. I simply asked for some other Steely Dan fans to give those different versions a listen. "they may have been mastered differently." Do ya think?

haha -- well this is certainly true, but you did open the door with your op... peace bro...enjoy the music

Find your favorite streaming source and live happily. It's great, too, that the streaming sources each have their own personalities. Not to mention separate sets of ears.
