Qobuz Users Update?

the service in the USA has been out a few months now. initial posters on this site commented on good sound quality in hi rez but a limited catalogue. I listen mostly to Jazz and Classical. Would anyone who has been a user from the get go please comment on your experience? I've been a Tidal guy for years and am fairly satisfied. Thanks to anyone taking the time to comment

Qobuz has a more complete classical library than Tidal but Tidal has more of everything else including Jazz and Rock. The hi rez quality of both is excellent but I would give Qobuz a slight edge. I had both but dropped Qobuz. I’ll come back when they’re catalog is more complete. It’s hard to listen to Spotify after these two. Good luck.

I've been a long-time subscriber to Tidal and to Qobuz for a couple of months, and have decided to keep both.  Roon core runs on a Mac Mini and sends files to an Ayre QX-5 Twenty digital hub via ethernet; Roon bridge runs on a iMac and sends file via USB to an Ayre DX-5 DSD.  I stream but rarely spin these days.

I’m very pleased with Qobuz. I did the free trial with Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz. Couldn’t find much in the classical genre on Tidal, so I went with Qobuz. Excellent classical catalogue which includes not only recent recordings, but many of the great conductors and performances of yesteryear.

And the hires sounds terrific.
