I've had Qobuz for about 2 years and really enjoy it. The sound quality is excellent and the selection of material vast. However, to find music, I don't use the Qobuz player interface much. I use the Logitech Media Server with my players to not only manage my own local collection but also to search and select music from Qobuz. The integration is seamless -- I can build a playlist that intermixes songs from my own collection with Qobuz's. And it also keeps track of my favorites. There are other options available so don't think you are stuck with only the Qobuz play web site.
Qobuz Trial
I'm a longtime Apple Music subscriber but, on a whim, decided to try out Qobuz to see what all the fuss is about. For digital, I do my listening primarily through my Macbook pro and iPhone, in either case run through my JDS Labs Element II to Senn HD-660 S. I queued up Art Blakey's Moanin' on both platforms, listening first to Apple Music, then to Qobuz, then back to Apple Music. It's always that last step where I feel the differences come out. And boy did they. When I went back to Apple music on the third listen, I almost ripped off my cans in shock. It was so jarring. I had my wife do some blind listening and she consistently chose Qobuz, describing it as rounder and flatter. So now I'll have two streaming services, though I swore I'd never be that guy.
Apple music is vastly superior, especially on mobile, for library management and navigation, as well as discovery. I do hope Qobuz works on that.
