Quobuz subscription

I always get network drop out with tidal, maybe 60% of the time.

Never have with qobuz (though the highest I have received from qobuz is 24/96)

I’ll take the lower resolution vs having song stop, restart, stop restart blech, so mostly using qobuz now.  Though qobuz “cd quality” for some reason does sound lower volume and muffled vs tidal hi-fi sets and a tidal full master mqa decoded track sounds better than the qobuz 24/96.. if it ever plays all the way through.

But I am also extremely rural and using a t-mobile hotspot 100gb/month .. says good signal, but.. not so much..  yeah, starlink does it to me also.

@czarivey so I compared Qobuz to Tidal using the  “Finger Dancin” track off the “Man with the guitar” album. Tidal version does sound a but more open and fuller than Qobuz version and makes it seem like Qobuz is slightly duller. The difference is audible. Although isn’t really my cup o’ tea, that track is pretty cool. I don’t know what the CD sounds like but it almost makes me think that a good amount of compression was used in the recording process itself. But like I said, I have nothing to compare it to in a form of original CD or vinyl, so I could be wrong 

For me, Tidal was better than Amazon music. Then, I subscribed to Tidal and Qobuz at the same time. I A/B’d the two for at least a month. Qobuz was the consistent winner. But that’s on my system.  Unless you’re planning to stop by, you’ll want to A/B all the streaming services on your system. Then you’ll know for sure what subscription to pay for.

I’ve only compared Quobuz to Tidal

I’ve never gotten over 44 from Tidal even on their masters but have gotten 96 from Quobuz HD tracks or albums.  I’ve never seen over 96 yet.  I’m getting the number from my Gustard DAC. An example is Pink Floyd Money album….

Never heard the Pink Floyd money album. Does that have dark side of the moon on it?
