@lou_setriodes Well, they offer a free trial so why not just give it a try and see what you think? |
I have both Qobuz and Tidal and listen primarily via Roon. When mobile, I use Tidal alone rather than Qobuz or Roon's ARC. I find the Tidal interface to be easier for mobile. There shouldn't be a difference in SQ unless they are different masters. In general, the only difference to me is the different libraries of music. Occasionally Qobuz seems to have their servers at capacity. |
Qobuz absolutely sounds better, with a vastly superior collection of high resolution files, and if you choose to upgrade to their premium plan, you have the added benefit of being able to purchase the files for half off of the regular price, which is another great bonus. As for their customer service, it does suck and is admittedly slow, but if there is ever an issue, they do ultimately respond but there are rarely issues

I currently have Qobuz annual and Tidal on a 30 day trial. April 10th Tidal is lowering it's price where the 2 services are competitive. I stream through a Node and modded Node 2i using the coax pass through to my Anthem receiver and Peachtree integrate which both have superior DACs. It's fairly easy to A/B between the streaming services and I find Qobuz to sound better on same songs.The interface with Tidal is better and I wish Qobuz had the very convenient Tidal Connect feature. They both sound good through Android Auto on my car. In the end SQ trumps features. I will be re-upping with Qobux. |
