Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song?


I want to hear some good quality music and might move away from Tidal, but I have to hear quality recordings before I make a switch. Can anyone recommend an album or song that sounds truly exceptional on Qobuz?

Eclectic:  David Byrne/Brian Eno:  Everything that happens

Classical:  reference recordings "Trittico", RCA Living Stereo Leopold Stokowski "Rhapsodies"

ROCK: Fleetwood Mac "Rumours", Donald Fagan and Steely Dan several albums.  REM, Radiohead

Country: Billy Springs, Sturgill Simpson

I like your system and your taste in music (minus Fleetwood Mac). I think if you had a different streamer and DAC you would hear a difference. 

Drop Qobuz now!

I had a annual subscription and I decided to delete and cancel my account because I preferred Tidal.

They charged me for another year anyway.

I'm currently disputing the charge with my credit card company.

Qobuz SUCKS!

#fsonicsmith I need to update my system page.  I updated the streamer.  It has a new power supply which helped a lot.  I am under the impression that the Topping is very quiet and detailed.  It has the AKM chip.  I suppose a better analog section could make it sound better.  Haven't really looked for a new one but would have to spend more, I think.

Sure, listen to a great recording. This may show you what is possible; although, possibly just different. However, when making this kind of judgment (not streaming) I like to also include the opposite approach. Listen to a recording that, to you, previously sounded lacking and uninvolving and see if it sounds better to you. But, prioritize musical involvement, less so the specific details of the “sound”.
