After my recent digital front end upgrade I signed up for Qobuz to compare against Tidal - Qobuz was the easy winner.
I downgraded Tidal to the basic level (no MQA access) a long time ago.
Streaming Services
Hello, Folks -
In an attempt to (somewhat) get with the times, I am incorporating streaming as a source in my audio system.
In my research I’ve seen that sound quality varies among the providers.
I’m looking for a provider suggestion. A service that you feel has high sound quality.
For the most part this would be for classical music. Some classic rock and jazz would be a plus.
I’m a fuddy duddy with my equipment and am not looking to change anything out. What I have:
Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC
Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp
Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps
Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers
PGS interconnects
MacBook Pro
Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for reading my post.
Regards,
Randy

@yoyoyaya if your internet speed slows down for whatever reason tidal will still work, but Qobuz will not, that tells me that Qobuz is uncompromising which is good. |
@ghdprentice why would tidal work and Qobuz didn't work when my internet speed was slowed down for a few hours? |
I use Amazon. Qobuz is 10.95 I think. I can't move all my music that I picked out..I tried Qobuz and found no difference. At the time , they had 60 million songs. All songs are at least 16/44.1. You will want to run Cat 6 or higher or optical. You will find all kinds of albums you always wanted to hear or new music. |
