Has anyone noticed Qobuz sounding a little fatter in the right channel?

Just to be certain, I swapped tubes in DAC. Swapped tubes in Amp. Swapped RCA’s. Brought down the little Schiit DAC from upstairs and same thing. A/B spinning albums with Technics, Herron, and Hana. The digital seems to be a little more weighted on the right channel or lean in the left channel. The album image is dead center solid perfect. Couple tracks, Paul Simon Graceland - You Can Call me Al. The new Cat Power Covers - Bad Religion. Am I tripping Audiogon?

No joke here.  Get your ear checked for wax build up.  That happened to me about 2 months ago and now fixed! Some folks are wax builders ☹️

It is a common issue for DSD channels to get reversed. So if you are playing DSD compare the DSD recording to a PCM recording and check if the channels are swapped.
