I, too want to dump Tidal, and have been patiently waiting for Quobuz and Primephonic to come to Bluesound.

Based on reading the links, it seems Qobuz may have better catalogs of jazz and classical music than Tidal but it will cost slightly more than Tidal, especially if you choose the Hi-Rez options.  For us rock and blues fans, it seems Tidal may be the better option but maybe I am missing something.

Qobuz is supposed to launch in the USA during RMAF which starts this Friday. Paul McGowan -  President of PS Audio has stated that the Qobuz audio quality is much superior to Tidal in detailed comparisons that he has done. Their catalog is huge. I have been able to download the sampler version which streams 20 second samples of songs at 320 bit quality. Typing in Mozart shows 4500 albums! All types of music are available. I hope to install and listen to high rez files on Friday while at RMAF.
