Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate


I'm not convinced that I'm getting "CD Quality" from either service even though I've paid a premium for it.  In terms of the catalog, Tidal has Qobuz beat hands down.  Not even close IMO.  I like the user interface a little more with Tidal.  Similar artists populate right under the album listings.  However, Tidal is expensive when compared to Qobuz, if you're a long term subscriber. With Qobuz I received a considerable discount with a 1 year subscription.  I was paying $24 month (with taxes inc) for Tidal and that was a year ago. It's probably gone up from that. $300 a year buys a lot of CD's (especially when I usually buy mine used).  Has anyone else been as disillusioned as I am?

There should be no dropouts when using Android or iPhone. I know dropouts exist when using Qobuz with a PC.

I use a Node 2i with Android and had dropouts when I first signed up for Qobuz. Customer service was able to correct the issue.

I continue to suffer dropouts when I stream Qobuz through my Mytek Brooklyn Bridge.  I've been trading emails with Mytek's techie and he's been unable to pinpoint a problem.  He did, though, convince me to listen to other streaming services to see if I have problems with them, too.I really don't want to subscribe to another paid service to do the test (did I make a rookie error when I quit Tidal when their free trial ended?) but I have been listening to a classical internet radio station that offers complete symphonies and such.  In other words, a perfect test subject/guinea pig.  So far, no interruptions in service no matter how long the file is.  The thing is, fidelity is far less satisfying than Qobuz' superlative transmission.  In any event, what all this nuttiness is doing is make me suspect Qobuz is the dropout culprit.
What's your download speed?  Have you had you contacted your ISP to make sure that your internet connection is working correctly?  I never have dropouts with Qobuz at 80 MBPS download speed.  I stream Qobuz in my car using my phone's 4G internet connection and it doesn't drop out unless I'm out of signal range.

I have a Mytek Liberty DAC in my bedroom and have not suffered dropouts there.  I'm not sure how your DAC could be causing dropouts, especially on just one music service.  
I seem to have cursed myself. I've been having a bunch of dropouts this morning, both from my pc (wired connection) and my Bluesound Node 2 (wireless).
I might have reported this on another forum but I think I've cured my dropout problem. Looking for any variable whatsoever to mess with I substituted Firefox for Microsoft Edge in my streaming path.  So far so good!  I've yet to encounter a streaming issue, this despite listening to several half-hour plus HD streams.  Fingers and toes crossed.
