I did the same a few months ago.  Qobuz has a much poorer jazz selection than Tidal. 
Holo Audio Spring DAC LEVEL 3 Vs. iFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC and Music Streamer
Many reports have found the Benchmark DAC's to be too clinical.  Seems like the RME DAC could be a better option if you're looking for an analytical sound - at about half the cost 
Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost?
I also switched from A+ to Roon a couple of years ago for the same reasons.  Last year I bought the lifetime subscription to Roon, I was so convinced about its superior SQ, compared with A+.However A+ 3.5 has changed everything on my setup.  It so...

Audirvana Plus vs Roon - High Sound Quality at Lower Cost?
I have completely changed my mind on this question since the arrival of Audirvana 3.5. I have a lifetime subscription to Roon so this is a dilemma. Over the past two weeks I’ve been going back and forth between the two platforms but it’s clear to ... 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?

This DAC seems like an unbelievable bargain - top-level performance for about a grand sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll take two.  What holds me back is skepticism about the author of this review.  As he mentions himself, his review of the "New" ...
