Qobuz and Tidal comparison

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.

The Qobuz default player was slightly better than Tidal's, although both can stream with the top of the players, Audirvana, and tie on that.  However, most importantly, Tidal is giving me the new king of reasons to subscribe to a streaming service in the first place:  8 rotating smart custom playlists.

It's unbelievable how well my playlists give me a list of unheard tracks based on what I favorite, and also gives 8 unique rotating lists, based on what I play.  Tidal wins that prize, and Qobuz is actually LAST place, out of all services I tried, because my playlist had nothing to do with me, and never changed anyways.  Their home page recommendations list was small, and didn't change for 2 months, and then, only very slightly.  Tidal always tells me when something new comes out.  With Qobuz, all you can really do, is find stuff to look for somewhere else, and then manually search for them.  I don't see the big deal about having a library-only service, even though that's what I initially only thought I would be getting for subscribing, anyways.  Tidal beat my expectations of a streaming service, by giving me a colossal 8 custom smart playlists.

All streamer default player apps suck, Tidall's was the least bad VS a standalone player, until Qobuz somehow managed to almost equal a standalone player.  But I only need a player's default app during gaming, otherwise Audirvana was the newest best sounding file-only player before supporting streaming, and compared to the default player apps, is almost perfection of streaming.
