Qobuz and Tidal comparison

They are doing serious demonstration.

The conclusion is that Qobuz give more realistic bass and nuanced details than Tidal.

It is because that Tidal use more compression.

I prefer Qobuz, sonically.  I can hear little if any difference between their streams and my stored tracks of the same music.  Like others here, I find their presentation crisper and more lively than Tidal.

Agreed and no drop out issues.  I’d still lol at the fact that maybe they have higher resolution and your equipment and streaming needs to handle that …  This is only an option 

 I'm listening to Hans Zimmer-Blade Runner right now and it's blowing me out of the

nice movie + ost

I have both. As others have  said, to my ears there is no across-the-board correct answer some tracks sound better on tidal and  some better on qobuz

i generally  prefer Qobuz but honestly the difference when comparing tracks is very slight  to my ears if noticeable at all 

 

I have compared both on my system and with a couple of different streamers and prefer Qobuz. Fortunately, I have not had any drop out issues like some others have run into.
