"...when Qobuz will be available in the USA?"
hgeifman: read upwards in this thread (Qobuz customer service said they're hoping for end of this year).
Is their catalog as large as Spotify? If not, hirez files won't make me switch. The music is more important to me.

@usery,  Yes.  I saw the above post but noticed  the press release below states “the official Qobuz release is in October. I guess the answer is between October and the end of the year.  

“NEW YORK, July 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Qobuz (pronounced CO-buz), a Paris-based online music streaming and download service for music lovers, has been named the Official High-Resolution Streaming Service for the upcoming 15thAnnual Rocky Mountain International Audio Fest (RMAF), the largest high-end consumer audio show in North America. With the company making its official American launch in October”.  
I’d be astounded if they hit October - lots of moving parts in a launch like this, for a service like theirs.  I’ll be surprised if they even hit end of year.

Happy with either.
As noted above, Qobuz will be at RMAF in October and almost all of the manufacturers will be using it. 

This is exciting and a great opportunity for Qobuz to announce its streaming features, capabilities, pricing options and launch date (I hope). 
  
My Aurender already works with Qobuz so i will create an account and log in.  I wonder how its catalog compares to Tidal Streaming.  I am anxious to hear the Qobuz 24 bit streaming option.
