Serious Problems with Qobuz
Now you agree that these "serious problems" aren't with Qobuz as  your thread title states.  It sounds like they've been quite responsive actually. Good to hear!  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Not yet slaw. It's supposed to ship on 10/16. 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Reuben, that's one of my favorite Doobies albums.  That should have said "MFSL" in my post.  Not sure if it was my lysdexia kicking in or auto-correct. 
Are my standards too high?

Christian McBride Big Band - For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver, Qobuz Hi-Res.  Really digging this also. 
What are you streaming tonight?
Diana Krall - This Dream Of You, Qobuz Hi-Res.  I really liked this from the start.  It's very intimate sounding and the song choices are great.  Then I look at Allmusic and they only gave it 3 stars.  There's no accounting for taste, and I'm cert...
