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.
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?
