Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service?

Hi and thanks for reading!

Has anybody tried Qobuz and compared it to TIDAL? I read that Qobuz streams 24/196 files which may be higher than even TIDAL Master quality?? If you have made the switch to Qobuz, was it easy to integrate into your streaming system?

I look forward to hearing from people who have tried Qobuz and either loved it or disliked it compared to TIDAL.

Thanks. 
Bryston is supposedly adding Qoboz to the BDP-2. I was hoping to review the music prior to that availability.

I just tried to see if I can browse Quboz without signing in or taking a free trial and it does not look like you are able to.

But a 30 day free trial cannot hurt for sure.

uberwaltz,
Thanks for the help.

As soon as it is available on my Bryston BDP 2 I will sign up for a free trial. 
Now what to do with the 6000+ cd's I have? (BTW, I have loaded them onto a 8TB hard drive) with the best resolution possible).

Ozzy.

Likely the same as myself, box them up and place in attic to gather dust!

Apart from my SACD and a few "special" cds and new CD bargain buys that is where my collection resides.

I access all my ripped CD direct over my network for now using mConnect on my Ayre EX8.

I MAY give Roon a trial but so far having a hard time believing $120 a year can be worthwhile.

Ok. I have reversed my conclusion:  MQA is better than Qobuz high resolution.  MQA is richer. My wife picked MQA immediately in a blind test. We agree.

I am keeping both subscriptions.
