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.

Hi three_easy_payments,

I’m using the Netgear R9000 but is having intermittent playback when streaming 24/192 songs from Qobuz US.  I tried to disconnect all other devices (except my iPhone which controls the streamer) connected to my WiFi router but still having the same problem.  Already verified that it’s not my streamer or the Ethernet cables (CAT 6).  Can you please share your experience with Netgear?  Would be grateful if you could shed some light.
Earlier I posted that "I gave up on Qobuz", when I was attempting to use their Windows app.

I later purchased a Roon Nucleus Plus server and have Roon integrate my library of purchased music with my Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions, and with the Roon front end, my experience stream Qobuz is flawless.

I don't hear any real difference between the Tidal and Qobuz sound quality, if I had to pick one, maybe Qobuz would win out, by a nose.  As both services have the music I enjoy, I might drop one of them, probably Tidal.

The sound quality of the USB port on the Roon Nucleus Plus is awesome! 
Update:
A few weeks ago I discovered Qobuz was having a promotion to subscribe to their "Studio" offering for $15 a month, so I took advantage of this deal and downloaded their latest desktop app and now everything is working great, no issues! After a week went by, comparing Qobuz to Tidal, I dropped Tidal in favor of Qobuz. My Streamer/DAC does not support MQA and I also preferred the music Qobuz was suggesting compared to Tidal, I also IMHO prefer the SQ of Qobuz probably because my DAC does not support MQA, however the difference is subtle.
