I was a Beta tester for both Tidal and Qobuz, so I have a little more time on each than most.
These are my findings and again, it's just my opinion.
CD quality streaming (16/44.1)...very slight edge to Tidal
HiRes/MQA...ABSOLUTELY NO difference. None. Nada.
Both services are excellent and I find they have pretty much the same catalog of music that I listen to. Again, "my" taste in music.
If you break down the monthly fees, (yes, I know that they both have longer subscription options, but I'm only comparing the monthly fee), Tidal is $19.95 and includes MQA. Qobuz is $24.99 for the HiRes service. Tidal seems to be, again, for me, the better value and that's what I decided on. I am no longer with Qobuz, but enjoyed listening to it.
