STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES

Thank you audiotroy for the suggestion of logging out of Tidal.

I have replaced many favorites or playlist songs with Qobuz.  Not all of my desired tracks are on Qobuz though... If I like the album, it is worth having Tidal for it.

I fixed this bu unsubscribing to tidal.  Never look back.  

Never was a fan of Tidal but did compare it to Qobuz years ago, and preferred Qobuz. But I think tidal really shot themselves in the foot when they increased their pricing and you need their highest tier to get MQA (which I'm not a fan of). So basically they are double the cost of Qobuz, cause why would you want Tidal without MQA?

Okay let's stir the pot. 

1. Roon Software degrades SQ

2. Spotify and Apple sound better than Qobuz or Tidal

3. MQA is a waste of time

4. A Streamer without a Ripper and Storage is not a smart buy.

5. Tapping into a good source of new music is the most valuable goal.

Now if you are going to challenge any of the above statements

please include your scientific evidence. 

I rejected Tidal because my McIntosh D/A doesn't support MQA, so why pay for inferior sound?  But on my system, streaming provides variety, but vinyl supplies the best listening experience.
