. I’ve tried Spotify,Tidal, Amazon HD Music,and Qobuz. Qobuz sounds best to me. Spotify has a great library,and has the best interface in my opinion. The sound quality of Spotify is lacking. Tidal has a decent library,but in side by side comparisons,Qobuz won. I tried Amazon for about a month,but I couldn’t understand their interface. That was a big turn off.

@rickguild If you are looking to get into high end digital audio, you should subscribe to a streaming service that delivers audio in a lossless format. The two most common are Tidal and Qobuz. While I was subscribed to both, I have since slimmed my access to using only Qobuz as it sounds better to me. YouTube and Spotify are lossy audio streaming services. Amazon HD and Apple Music are nice, but not all streamers integrate well with them. |
Qobuz, because it sounds best. My ranking of streaming service sound quality (as of November 2020) 1. Qobuz 2. Primephonic - now acquired by Apple 3. Spotify Premium (320 kbps Ogg Vorbis which is not lossless) - sounds surprisingly decent to me. It's shortcomings are error of omission rather than error of commission 4. IDAGIO 5. Amazon HD 6 Tidal |
