Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song?


I want to hear some good quality music and might move away from Tidal, but I have to hear quality recordings before I make a switch. Can anyone recommend an album or song that sounds truly exceptional on Qobuz?

If you scroll down a bit on the Qobuz home page, you’ll find “Qobuz Playlists”. Great way to explore and possibly find some new favorite artists/songs. My personal favorites are the High-Res playlists because I’m after the best sound quality I can find.

If you're using a Node for streaming, there are tweaks to increase the SQ. I upgraded the stock PC to an aftermarket C7 power cord which provided an audible improvement. I recommend Wireworld or Cullen, about $100 to $150.

Using an ethernet connection from the router rather than WIFI is also an improvement. I'm using CAT8.

And having the modem/router on a separate circuit than your audio will lower noise generated by RFI. There are other threads on how to improve Bluesound sonics.

David Crosby's "If I could only remember my name" 50th anniversary album.

Eva Cassidy's "Live at Blues Alley" 25th anniversary album.
